Houthi: Battle against Zionist regime at its height after assassinations

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah says the battle against Israel is now at its height after the regime

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah has said that the battle against Israel is now at its height after the regime assassinated Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.

“The Zionist regime’s crime of assassinating Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr has greatly impacted the region’s state of affairs," Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday afternoon.

The Ansarullah chief said the recent assassinations have had a significant impact on the entire West Asia.

Ever since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October, the Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.

Yemeni forces hit Israel-linked ship, 2 US destroyers in Red Sea

The Liberia-flagged container ship Contship Ono was targeted with ballistic missiles and drones in the Red Sea.

The attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
