US, UK Launch Raids On Yemeni Capital As Trump Threatens ‘Long’ War

Dozens have been killed by the western aggression in support of Israel.

And its ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.

US warplanes carried out at least 15 air raids on the southern and northeastern regions of Yemen’s capital late on 26 March, including airstrikes in the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport.

Washington and London have been relentlessly bombing Yemen over the past several days, killing dozens, including women and children, in an attempt to stop Sanaa’s military operations against Israel.

On Wednesday morning, the western coalition renewed its targeting of the Sahar District of the Saada governorate. This region had been targeted with two dozen airstrikes in the middle of the night.

“They want us to stop so badly … They’ve got to say, ‘No mas.’ But I can only say that the attacks every day, every night … have been very successful beyond our wildest expectations … We’re going to do it for a long time. We can keep it going for a long time,” US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday.

Overnight US and British airstrikes also targeted the Al-Rasool al-Azam cancer hospital in Saada, marking the second attack on the oncology center in just a few days.

“The US aggression targeted the hospital for the second time, leading to its destruction. This comes just days after multiple airstrikes hit the same hospital,” a security source told SABA news agency.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have responded to Washington’s with drone and missile attacks on US warships in the Red Sea, continuing an intense naval campaign that forced several western warships out of regional waters last year.

“In response to the US aggression against our country … and within the framework of confronting escalation with escalation … the missile force, the unmanned air force, and the naval forces carried out a joint military operation targeting enemy warships in the Red Sea, led by the US aircraft carrier Truman, from which the aggression against our country is launched,” the YAF said.

“The confrontation and clashes continued for several hours,” the Yemeni forces added. It also announced targeting “military targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Jaffa area with a number of drones.”

This was the first Yemeni drone attack on Israel since the Gaza ceasefire collapsed, which led to the YAF resuming operations in support of the besieged enclave.

Trump’s decision to restart the previous government’s war against Yemen has taken a back seat in western media, where the illegal conflict is overshadowed by an intelligence scandal involving a leaked group chat among US officials planning attacks on multiple Yemeni cities.

The leaked messages show national security advisor Mike Waltz announcing the assassination of the alleged “top missile expert” of the Ansarallah resistance movement as he walked “into his girlfriend’s building.”

“We had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed,” Waltz wrote, confirming the destruction of a residential building.

“Our country, both officially and popularly, has mobilized comprehensively to support the Palestinian people on all levels and has contributed to backing the resistance fronts without retreat, despite US aggression. The greatest jihad in the path of God is against Israeli and US tyranny, which has reached the worst levels of oppression, crime, and arrogance,” Ansarallah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi declared during a speech on Wednesday.

Yemen fires ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv hours after US airstrikes

The Yemeni army also announced a missile and drone attack targeting US warships in the Red Sea

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) carried out a ballistic missile attack against Israel on 27 March, triggering sirens in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and other areas.

“The missile force targeted Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, and a military target south of occupied Jaffa with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal,” the YAF said in a statement.

The Israeli army announced in a statement that “following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, two missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory,” adding that “sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.”

Video footage on social media shows Israeli air defenses being activated.

Photos also show fragments from one of the Yemeni missiles that was launched, found in Al-Dhahiriya, southwest of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Air traffic was halted at Ben Gurion Airport as a result of the missile attack.

The Yemeni army also said it targeted a number of US warships in the Red Sea with drones and missiles in response to constant US attacks on Yemen.

The operations come one day after a fresh round of at least 15 US airstrikes on the southern and northeastern regions of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, including airstrikes on the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport.

The night before, on 25 March, US jets bombed the Rasool al-Azam cancer hospital for the second time in a few days.

Washington and London have been relentlessly bombing Yemen over the past several days, killing dozens, including women and children, in an attempt to stop Sanaa’s military operations against Israel, which the Yemeni army resumed following Tel Aviv’s renewal of the war against Gaza.

Yemen has targeted US warships in the Red Sea several times in response to Washington’s attacks, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.

The US–British attacks have failed to deter Yemen from carrying out its operations. Yemeni officials have vowed to meet “escalation with escalation.”

US President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that Washington’s attacks have been “very successful beyond our wildest expectations,” adding, “We’re going to do it for a long time. We can keep it going for a long time.”
