Israeli war machine fails to penetrate Lebanon despite barbaric bombardment: Houthi

The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement says the Zionist war machinery has failed to penetrate Lebanon despite untrammeled support from the United States and barbaric bombardment.

“Israeli army faces a dilemma in ground attacks on Lebanon,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech on Thursday. “Zionist army suffered great losses in the war on Lebanon.”

“Zionist war machine showed its real caliber in ground operations against Lebanon,” the Yemeni leader said. 

Houthi hailed recent attacks by the Hezbollah resistance movement that targeted several Israeli military sites and settlements with drones and missiles in the northern part of the occupied territories.

“Settlers in northern occupied Palestine and Haifa spend much of their time in shelters in fear and terror,” he said. 

Houthi also congratulated Sheikh Naim Qassem on his appointment as the secretary-general of Hezbollah, who has vowed to uphold Nasrallah's path of resistance. 

“The enemy fears the fulfillment of the promise by the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah, that the world would witness the burning of enemy vehicles in a live broadcast,” he said. 

“We on the Yemeni front stand alongside Sheikh Naim Qassem, our brothers in Hezbollah, and the Lebanese people with all that we can.”

The Yemeni leader said that the US has been throwing its weight behind Israel and assisting the regime in committing the campaign of death and destruction across the region.

Hezbollah has inflicted more losses on invading Israeli troops while targeting the regime’s military positions and settlements across the northern occupied territories.

'US, Israel two sides of same coin'

“US helps Zionist troops with planning, intelligence, among other forms of support.” He said. “The US was working hard to whitewash Israeli atrocities, portray their acts of self-defense.”

“America and Israel are two sides of the same coin,” he further emphasized

Houthi said that the Gaza resistance groups were “showing exemplary resistance in the face of Israeli aggression and starvation.”

So far, the occupying regime has killed at least 43,163 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 101,510 others in the besieged Gaza. 

In its brutal aggression, Israel has deliberately targeted buildings and tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and committed war crimes.

The Yemeni leader also hailed a recent truck-ramming attack against Zionist forces near Tel Aviv.

“Heroic ramming operation targeting dozens of officers and soldiers from "Unit 8200" terrified the occupying Zionists.”

Official figures have revealed that Israeli military forces have suffered the deadliest month this year amid continuing fierce fighting in southern Lebanon and northern Gaza.

“The ramming operation represents a major breach in the enemy's security system, as it targeted the intelligence unit forces that failed to detect and protect against the attack.”

'Whole Muslim world target of US-Israeli war'

The Yemen leader also denounced Israel's recent aggression against Iran which was a "blatant violation' of the country’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty.

“US pushing Iran not to respond to Israeli aggression as Washington is seeking to dominate Muslims.”

He added that, “It is audacious the US and European countries asked Iran not to respond to the Israeli aggression.”

Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva have severely censured the latest Israeli strikes against the country’s military sites, stating that the Islamic Republic will not hesitate to exercise its legitimate right and defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Houthi called on the entire Muslim world to stand with Iran.

The Yemeni leader concluded by saying that the “whole Muslim world has been a target of US-Israeli war."

The Yemeni leader also hailed million-strong pro-Palestinian marches across Yemen in recent months.

“We have a religious, humanitarian, moral responsibility to help the Palestinians,  Lebanese in the face of atrocities.”

Meanwhile, Houthi vowed that the operations by the Yemeni army in the seas to target ships linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies continue, despite their movement now rare in the Red Sea.

Yemeni armed forces say they have carried out three military operations, targeting Israeli port of Eilat, a British ship in the Gulf of Aden and a US destroyer in the Red Sea.

He also hailed increasing operations of resistance fighters in Iraq, which had a significant impact, and caused distress to the Israeli enemy.

Houthi said that the Israeli regime had failed to achieve any of its stated goals after more than a year-long genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Israel has failed miserably in achieving its goals, especially in retrieving captives without an exchange deal.”
