The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul Malek al-Houthi, highlighted the numerous operations conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces this week, including "missile strikes on occupied Yafa [Tel Aviv], Ben Gurion Airport, the Nevatim Airbase, and a power station south of al-Quds."

In a speech on Thursday, he stated, "This week, we carried out a significant and powerful operation, targeting the US aircraft carrier [USS Harry S.] Truman for the second time with 11 cruise missiles and a drone."

Sayyed al-Houthi explained that the operation coincided with "preparations for launching a large-scale aggressive operation against our country, targeting several provinces." As a result, "the U.S. plan to attack our country was thwarted, leading to the retreat of the carrier and its accompanying naval vessels to the far north of the Red Sea."

He added, "This week's operations included the downing of two MQ-9 drones in Al-Bayda and Ma'rib. These expensive drones are crucial for US reconnaissance and aggression."

'We will not waver in our principled stance'

Sayyed Abdel Malek noted, "The occupation describes Yemen as an extremely complex adversary, which is highly positive for us. It signifies that Yemen, both officially and popularly, is a resilient, strong, steadfast, and cohesive nation." He further mentioned that "the Israelis were surprised by the intensified supportive operations for the Palestinian people from Yemen, which have had significant impact and effectiveness."

He also revealed that during a year of U.S.-British aggression, 106 Yemenis were killed and 314 were injured, with 931 airstrikes and naval offensives recorded.

Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that "the US aggression against our country has indeed contributed to the development of our military capabilities, as we are engaged in a battle of this magnitude against advanced US technologies and resources."

Commenting on Israeli aggression, he stated, "We will not waver in our principled, faithful, moral stance against Israeli aggression, and this will not affect the level of our position." He emphasized, "We are advancing our stance to the highest levels and aspire for greater achievements."

Developments in the West Bank

Sayyed Abdel Malek expressed regret over the recent developments in the West Bank, describing the situation as "the Palestinian Authority becoming embroiled in Palestinian bloodshed, turning the battle in the West Bank into internal strife."

He remarked, "The Palestinian Authority's hopes of achieving peace with the Israeli occupation through negotiations are an illusion and a mirage," adding that "'Israel' will never permit the establishment of a Palestinian state, a fact explicitly declared in the Knesset and openly acknowledged by key criminals in the entity."

He urged against relying on the UN Security Council for the Palestinian cause, stating, "How many hundreds of meetings have been held without any results?" He added, "During the aggression on Gaza, the Security Council convened over 50 meetings with no outcome."

He concluded by asking, "Is the Palestinian Authority waiting for Trump, whom the Israelis rely on to finally annex the West Bank or more?"

Palestinian Resistance operations in Gaza

The leader of Ansar Allah remarked that "the rocket strikes from Gaza carry highly significant messages and are a clear testament to the failure of the Israeli occupation, representing a genuine achievement for the fighters in the Strip."

He praised the operations of the Al-Qassam Brigades this week, describing them as "strong, heroic, and sacrificial despite the suffering caused by the aggression and siege." He further noted, "The missile strikes by Saraya al-Quds on Yafa [Tel Aviv] and al-Quds, 15 months into the aggression and from the northern parts of the devastated Strip, send a powerful message of resilience and steadfastness."

On the fifth anniversary of Martyrs Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis

Regarding the commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani and Deputy Head of the PMF Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Sayyed al-Houthi stated, "The martyr Hajj Qassem Soleimani played a highly distinguished role in supporting the Palestinian people and aiding the fighters in Palestine."

He added, "The two dear martyrs, Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, are credited with their remarkable and significant roles in confronting Israeli and US conspiracies."

He pointed out that "since the establishment of some Islamic Resistance movements in Gaza and Palestine, there has been substantial cooperation, with Iran playing an honorable role in supporting the Palestinian people."

Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "Iran is being targeted because of its significant contribution to the Palestinian cause and its support for fighters in Palestine, as well as its backing of support fronts."

He reminded the Iraqi government and people that "there remains a responsibility upon them to take a strong stance against the US crime of targeting martyrs Soleimani and al-Muhandis on Iraqi soil."
