The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, highlighted the operations conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces this week in support of Gaza, reaffirming their steadfast solidarity with Palestine against the Israeli occupation.
The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced that the operations in support of Gaza have reached nine this week, carried out with hypersonic and ballistic missiles as well as drones, noting that one of the Yemeni operations coincided with a speech delivered by US President Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia during his visit to the Middle East.
He emphasized that "among the most important operations was the strike on Lod Airport (Ben Gurion Airport)," part of their sustained campaign to establish an air blockade against the occupation, reaffirming their determination to achieve this goal.
The Yemeni leader reiterated that Israeli navigation in the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea remains banned.
He also affirmed that Yemen's stance in supporting Gaza has never wavered or weakened, remaining steadfast as always, while calling on the Yemeni people to turn out in massive numbers tomorrow, Friday, for million-strong rallies in Sana'a and other provinces, raising their voices loudly in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The tragedy in Palestine
Regarding the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Sayyed Al-Houthi described the humanitarian situation in the enclave as extremely tragic, particularly after relief organizations completely exhausted their remaining food supplies.
He stated that the staggering scale of atrocities committed by the Israeli enemy in Gaza blatantly constitutes genocide, emphasizing that this reveals the true extent of the US-backed Israeli aggression.
Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi condemned Western nations for exposing their hypocritical human rights rhetoric by supporting "Israel", noting they profit trillions from Arab nations while disregarding their people, with "Israel" complicit in this US-led exploitation.
In the West Bank, Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the occupation forces persist in their campaign of killings and kidnappings, a clear strategy to impose total control over the territory.
On the anniversary of the 1948 Nakba, Sayyed al-Houthi called for drawing critical lessons from this tragic event to drive meaningful change, describing it as "77 years of ongoing sorrow and tragedy," emphasizing that one of Nakba's most important lessons is how the Zionist regime's criminal, aggressive approach has remained unchanged for these 77 years.
Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized the Resistance Fighters in Gaza as a vital paradigm for the ummah, showcasing how their resistance has effectively thwarted the occupation’s plans and demonstrated their strategic success.
Al-Houthi presented the resistance fighters in Gaza as an exceptionally important model and lesson for the entire nation, asserting that they represent a successful example that has defeated the occupation’s plans and proven their effectiveness.
Regarding the recent operations of the resistance in Gaza, Sayyed Al-Houthi pointed out that the Al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) carried out "Ambushes of Death", a series of complex, lethal, and devastating to the occupation forces, east of Rafah and in other areas across the sector.
He also noted that al-Quds Brigades carried out significant operations, launching rocket barrages at settlements in the Gaza envelope, describing them as "a great and important achievement."
In response to footage showing al-Quds Brigades fighters launching rockets, he conveyed greetings from his movement, their people, and fellow armed resistance members, praying for God's continued support, strength, and ultimate victory.
