Yemen vows crushing response to Israel over strikes on Hudaydah port
The Yemeni Armed Forces will deliver a crushing response to Israel over its air strikes on several sites in and around the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah, says a senior member of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council.
“The response is coming as pledged by [the leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement] Abdul-Malik al-Houthi,” Mohammed Ali al-Houthi wrote in a post published on the social media platform X on Friday.
“We do not claim to be in possession of the ammunition that some Arab regimes have in their inventory. Nevertheless, this would not stop us from supporting our brethren in Gaza.”
Houthi stressed that the Yemeni armed forces’ response to Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah will be according to their military capabilities and resources.
The high-ranking Yemeni official also took a swipe at some Arab regimes for their inaction in the face of Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip, saying, “Where is your reaction whilst your national security is being jeopardized and your brethren are getting killed in Gaza?”
Yemen’s Al-Masirah television channel said the Israeli attack targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in Hudaydah on July 20, igniting a fire.
At least nine people were killed and 87 others wounded in the Israeli air raids. The attack came a day after the Yemeni military conducted a drone attack against the coastal city of Tel Aviv in the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories.
Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has pledged to respond to the attack on Hudaydah.
“This aggression will not pass without an effective response against the enemy,” it said in a statement.
