'Hours later, Ansar Allah military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group was preparing 'an announcement of a qualitative military operation,' though he did not provide any further details.Asked if the announcement was connected to the suspected drone strike in Tel Aviv, Ansar Allah Deputy Information Secretary Nasreddin Amer affirmed to Newsweek that was indeed the case.
