Houthi vows no letup in anti-Israeli operations after US, UK bomb Yemen

The leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement says Yemen will continue its operations against Israel and its allies in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese nations.

Abul-Malik al-Houthi's remarks in a televised speech on Thursday came after US and British warplanes bombed capital Sana'a and several other areas, with the Pentagon saying it used "B-2 stealth bombers for the 1st time in airstrikes on Yemen”.

He said Washington is seeking to enable the Tel Aviv regime to dominate the entire West Asia region, either directly or through political and economic aspects.

Houthi said Israel’s expansionist goals pose a great danger not only to Arab countries but the entire region.

The Ansarullah chief called on the Yemenis to take to the streets on Friday to showcase their strong solidarity with the Palestinians and the Lebanese people.

Houthi condemned US complicity in Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the Lebanese people. 

“The US is a partner in every sense of the word with the Zionist regime in its crimes, brutalities as well as acts of acts of aggression and tyranny,” he said.

"Without American partnership and support, the Israeli enemy would not have been able to continue the Gaza war and Lebanon conflict this long, with such high intensity of cruelty and criminality," he added.

The Israeli military is practicing the same methods of aggression in Lebanon as it does in the Gaza Strip, he said, adding Israeli forces are targeting unarmed Lebanese civilians indiscriminately.

“The scenes of atrocities in Gaza provide sufficient evidence for the level of Zionists’ viciousness. Lack of awareness about the danger being posed by the Zionists will reinforce their belief that Arabs and Muslims are ignorant and uninterested in the unfolding developments,” the Ansarullah leader said.

Houthi said Israel has perpetrated the most heinous crimes ever since its creation in 1948, adding the atrocities show the Zionist regime is devoid of all human values and principles, and has committed acts of violence at the worst level.

“It has become clear to everyone that neither can the United Nations nor international bodies avert the danger of the Zionist enemy. Only the rise of the Muslim Ummah can do so," he said. 

“The Zionist enemy has resorted to mass killing and assassination of innocent people, whilst it has failed on the battlefield. Genocide continues in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli enemy brutally targets all refugees in Gaza as well as school-turned-shelters for displaced Palestinians with destructive and incendiary bombs provided by the US.” 

Top Yemeni official reaffirms support for Gaza until Israel ends aggression, urges all Muslim nations to follow suit

The chairman of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has reaffirmed his country’s support for Palestinians in Gaza until final victory over the Israeli regime.

The Ansarullah leader said the Israeli military is trying to prevent the entry of food and water into northern Gaza to starve the local population there.

“Hospitals and medical centers that had just resumed their operations were targeted by the enemy again, and are not functional anymore.”

He also lashed out at some Arab regimes for failing to provide the Palestinian nation with firm support and practical assistance, emphasizing that the situation would have been distinctly different if these things had been offered.

Houthi touched on the Israeli aggression against Lebanon as he paid glowing tributes to Hezbollah. 

“Israel has been posing a serious threat and danger to Lebanon ever since it was created more than 45 years ago. Hezbollah fighters have beefed up their loyalty and resolve to perform their jihadist duties following the assassination of the movement’s late secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and other top officials,” he said.

The Ansarullah chief also praised pro-Palestine operations by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, stating that their strikes have markedly increased in light of the Israeli regime’s expansion of aggression against Lebanon.

“The Iraqi resistance front should be a role model for the entire Arab world,” he said.

Houthi also touched on Iran's response to Israel's assassination of the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders as well as a top IRGC commander. 

He said Israel initiated tensions with Iran after it assassinated Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July.

“It is very bizarre that Western countries expect Iran not to respond to direct Israeli attacks. The Zionist regime is massacring women and children under the pretext of self-defense,” he said.
