The Yemeni armed forces with the help and the grace of God Almighty has done its first

military attacks with the barrage of ballistic missiles against sensitive military targets

in the south of occupied Palestine.

This operation coincides with the heroic operations by the Mu'jahidin in Iran and

Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran, meanwhile, has maintained its retaliatory strikes on Israel with missile and drone attacks.

Missile interceptions were seen in the skies of Tel Aviv early on Saturday, at least one

person was killed in the city on Friday night.

Israel says cluster munitions have damaged the apartments.

There's also been no let-up in strikes on Iran overnight.

Several parts of the capital Tehran were hit and attacks sparked fires in the western

city of Asfahan.

Gulf states have also come under attack.

The UAE says debris from an intercepted Iranian missile caused fires in Abu Dhabi while

Al-Alaman says two drones damaged the crane at its southern Solala port.

The U.S. media say in a Iranian attack on a base in Saudi Arabia has injured at least

15 American troops.

Strike reportedly hit the Prince Sultan airbase.

That's about 100 kilometers southeast of the capital of Riyadh.

Two U.S. service members have been seriously injured.

More than 300 U.S. troops have been injured in the war and at least 13 killed.

It's the first attack by the Iran-alline group in this conflict.

Well, the group was founded in the 1990s as a Shia Muslim political organization.

But in the early 2000s, it became a militarized movement, evolved in armed conflicts with

the Yemeni government.

Fighters seized the capital in 2014.

Since then, they've consolidated control over the northwest.

This triggered more than a decade of conflict with a Saudi-led coalition which backed the

internationally recognized government.
