The nightmare that Yemen has created for the Zionist regime.
The media spoke of Tel Aviv’s concerns about the imminent victory, citing the significant advance of Sanaa forces in al-Hudaidah and Ma’rib governorates and the approach of full control of the Yemeni army and popular committees over strategic parts of the country.
Al-Mayadin news website recently reported on the issue, referring to the recent quadripartite naval exercise between Tel Aviv, Washington, Manama and Abu Dhabi in the Red Sea. Tel Aviv is deeply concerned.
The US Central Command in the Middle East (Centcom) announced last Thursday a five-day exercise between the United States and its regional partners.
“Maritime cooperation helps maintain maritime freedom and the free flow of trade that are essential to regional security and stability,” said Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the US Navy, Fifth Fleet, and US Navy.
Al-Mayadin news website referred to the exercise and said that Tel Aviv is facing four nightmares in the Red Sea.
First: “We will target sensitive targets”; This was a statement made by Ansarullah at the end of last year in response to statements by Tel Aviv officials that he was monitoring the situation in Yemen. This was not just a temporary threat, as Yemeni drones and missile capabilities are practically a threat to the Israeli regime in the Red Sea; An issue that research centers in the Occupied Territories have also warned of.
Al-Mayadin added: “Along the geography of Yemen controlled by the Yemeni army and popular committees, posing a threat to the ‘Eilat’ will not be more difficult than posing a threat to the Saudi Aramco oil company; This is an issue that has been raised by Ari Hitsin, a researcher at the Zionist Institute of Internal Security. Although he downplayed Yemen’s threat to Tel Aviv; But he stressed that Ansarullah’s ability to fire long-range missiles at the occupied territories was possible, or in other words, “this is a real thing; “But it is limited.”
Second, in the 1967 war, Tel Aviv practically experienced the meaning of closing the Suez Canal and the Strait of Tiran; But what does the closure of a farther point, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, mean for Tel Aviv?
Al-Mayadin says the closure of the strait to Israeli ships would hurt Tel Aviv’s imports and exports in the same way.
The news site explains that India is the first importer of Israeli weapons in the world, as it accounted for 43% of Zionist regime arms exports between 2016 and 2020. At the same time, Vietnam is the third largest importer of Israeli weapons, accounting for 12 percent of Tel Aviv’s total arms exports. In other words, arms exports are a vital part of the Israeli economy, ranking eighth in the world. And exports three percent of the world’s total arms.
The ship added that the ships carrying weapons, which make up one of Tel Aviv’s economic pillars, would have a profound effect on the lives of the townspeople if they were in real danger; People for whom Tel Aviv needs tempting concessions to establish themselves in the occupied territories.
On the other hand, a large part of the Zionist regime’s economy relies on imported goods; Goods that originate in the Indian Ocean and cross the Bab al-Mandeb Strait into the Occupied Territories.
Al-Mayadin adds that, perhaps, Tel Aviv is in an inverted equation today compared to the situation it experienced during the October 1973 war. At the time, Tel Aviv tasted the tragedy following the closure of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to Iranian ships during the ousted Shah of Iran, let alone today, when Tel Aviv is deeply concerned about Yemen’s solidarity with Iran.
Third: The dream of coastal tourist cities is part of the future projects of the Zionist regime; The first is for the macroeconomic benefits of these projects and the second is to build a bridge to normalize relations with other countries (the Carnegie Endowment calls the project “Saudi neo-diplomacy”). The city of Naum (a city under construction in northwestern Saudi Arabia) is at the center of the project, where Israeli technology is one of the project’s most important sources of revenue; A plan that requires a high level of stability and would not be possible without stability in the Red Sea.
Al-Mayadin added that losing the opportunity for military stability in the Red Sea would be tantamount to losing the economic opportunity for Tel Aviv in these smart cities.
Fourth, China seeks to ensure maximum stability in areas and straits along the so-called “Belt and Road” initiative. Looking at the map of this project and the straits and overpasses, it is clear that Bab al-Mandeb Strait is one of the important communication links of the project, which must be considered for the success of the project. However, with the arrival of the Mediterranean Sea, the port of Haifa will be one of the few priorities, especially since there are alternatives to this port.
The news site further notes that Tel Aviv, considering the US opposition, strongly wants to play a role in this project and make a profit in this way that the Bab al-Mandeb Strait can eliminate this possibility and cause heavy damage to Tel Aviv projects, including the line. Eilat iron to ash and energy transmission lines.
At the end of the report, it is emphasized that the above four cases are not an exaggeration or something like a dream, but the reality of Yemen’s geographical revenge on the occupiers, and these four cases are enough to create security and economic nightmares for Tel Aviv.
Concerns in Zionist circles over Yemeni developments have intensified as the media reported that the Yemeni army is on the verge of taking full control of the province after the withdrawal of Saudi-Emirati coalition forces from al-Hudaidah province (western Yemen). Al-Mayadin reported that the Yemeni army and popular committees had liberated all areas of al-Hudaidah except al-Khukha.
On the other hand, with the significant advance of Sanaa forces in Ma’rib province and the defeat of the Saudi coalition forces, the Yemeni media report that the countdown has begun for the complete liberation of this strategic province.
