Intensification of tension in the southern front; Sana’a has the upper hand in the complex battle with Tel Aviv
Mehr News, International group: trend during the last two weeks The escalation of tension between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the Zionist regime has increased significantly. After Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, now it seems that the Zionists are looking to target military-operational capabilities in Yemen. Today, the range of Yemeni missiles has reached more than 2,000 kilometers, and these projectiles can pass through the barrier of any defense system with the help of hypersonic propellants.
In recent days, the Zionist army, in cooperation with Centcom, targeted Yemen’s oil facilities in Ras al-Isa, Bandar al-Salaf, Bandar al-Hudaydah, power plants, missile depots, and training bases of Ansarullah. gave On the other side, the Yemeni Mujahideen repeatedly attacked the occupied territories, namely Tel Aviv, with ballistic missiles. The firepower of the Yemeni resistance and targeting the interests of the Zionist regime has caused Netanyahu to face a desperate situation to deal with Sana’a.
The expansion of the Gaza crisis to the southern front
Israel Kats called the third missile attack by Ansarullah this week as an act against Israel’s security in a nervous and helpless tone and threatened the Yemeni resistance forces. The Minister of War of Israel spoke about repeating the fate of martyrs Haniyeh, Nasrallah and Sinwar for Badreddin al-Houthi, the leader of Ansarallah. The helplessness of the Zionists to confront the National Salvation Government of Yemen has caused many Zionist think tanks and journalists to write and find a solution to overcome the challenge of Ansarullah.
On this basis, the Hebrew newspaper Jerusalem Post offers solutions to deal with the threat of the Yemeni resistance in an analytical-political article. The formation of a global-regional coalition is a direct blow to Iran, increasing attacks on the interests of Ansarullah forces, and a large-scale attack on Yemen’s infrastructure, among these solutions.
Ansarullah’s mission to support Palestinian fighters in Gaza began in November 2023. Between the months of June and February 2023, the peak of Yemeni resistance actions against the affiliated ships of the Zionist regime and its allies was in the Red Sea. To deal with this process, the Americans created the maritime security coalition “Guardians of Welfare” with the direct and indirect presence of different countries of the world, but in practice they could not stop Yemen’s resistance. This operational failure caused the American and British air forces to use the support capacity of American ships and the information base in Cyprus to launch targeted attacks on the interests of Ansarullah. This tactic has not been successful yet, and the missile and drone attacks of the Yemeni resistance continue.
Possibility of activation of Saudi-UAE allies
At the same time as the air attacks of the Zionist regime and the United States intensify against strategic and military targets in the north of Yemen, it seems that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the forces of the Southern Transitional Council affiliated to the UAE are taking action They intensified the military movements against the forces of the National Salvation Government of Yemen. The intensification of the movements of the Hebrew-Western-Arab axis shows the overlap of their interests to change the geopolitics of Yemen. According to news published by Yemeni sources, after last week’s Israeli attacks on missile warehouses, military training centers, oil facilities, port infrastructure and electricity industry in Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s armed forces intensified mortar attacks towards Saada province in northern Yemen.
After the Ansarullah forces joined the support front for Gaza, the Saudis began financial and economic pressure on Sana’a with the aim of isolating this revolutionary government, and together with the Americans, political pressure They increased Sana’a. It was after these measures that Abdul Malik Badreddin al-Houthi openly threatened Saudi Arabia that if this policy continues, it will create the resistance of “bank against bank”.
In the south of Yemen, the forces supported by the UAE, namely the “Yemen Transitional Council”, which have separatist views, recently started movements in Taiz province against Ansarullah forces. The Emiratis, after a long period of ceasefire with resistance and entering the phase of leaving the hostilities, now it seems that together with Israel and the United States, they intend to change the equations of northern Yemen and put the national rescue forces in a state of siege.
Will Yemen become American Vietnam?
With the intensification of the movements of the US Air Force against vital targets in the provinces of Sana’a and Hodeidah, the Ansarullah Mujahidin of Yemen clearly stated that if the US intends to enter the war with Yemen , this resistance group will target American interests throughout the region. The firing of nearly 400 missiles and drones towards the occupied territories and the eight-year war with the Saudi coalition show the high combat power of Ansarullah forces in the face of external threats. Recently, the interception and downing of the advanced American F-18 fighter has raised many questions about the military strength of the Yemeni resistance.
According to Yahya Saree, the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, on the 21st of December, an aircraft carrier and several American destroyers were targeted by the Yemeni forces. The Americans are well aware of their weakness to enter the field of Yemen, on this basis, they intend to help their main ally in the region, the Zionist regime, with the help of the Saudi-Emirati forces.
Bahre Sakhan
Among the sides of the axis of resistance, the forces of the National Salvation Government of Yemen have considerable experience and training due to the years of war with the Saudi coalition. Their successive attacks on the Zionist regime show their readiness to create deterrence against the Zionist regime. Now we have to wait and see which direction the battle between Sana’a and Tel Aviv will go and what regional and international actors will enter this equation?
