Yemeni Supreme Political Council member, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, announced that "the battle [Operation Al-Aqsa Flood] is ongoing" and that the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement remains "in constant coordination, as the leader of the revolution [Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi] said, and we stand by our word."
The Council member further explained that although "no Arab regime mobilized its resources to take the leading role in confronting Israel," it remained that "our dear people should not worry, as they are participating alongside the Resistance," stressing that "this is a great blessing to be on the side of the freedom fighters."
Moreover, al-Houthi underscored that Yemen perceived the US threats as "null" as he made reference to the successful deterrence equation established by Ansar Allah in Yemen by emphasizing that the "weapons they have used to bomb Yemen were US weapons and that US officers were also present in operation rooms."
Yemeni attack intercepted by US larger than Pentagon claimed: WSJ
US officials have reported that the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement carried out a more significant attack whose trajectory indicated it was heading toward Israeli-occupied Palestine than initially reported by the Pentagon, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Reportedly, the Yemeni Resistance fired five cruise missiles and roughly 30 drones, the WSJ said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Previously, the Pentagon reported that the USS Carney intercepted four cruise missiles and only 15 drones instead of the reported 30.
CNN reported that the warship, an Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer, intercepted four cruise missiles and 15 drones over nine hours as they were heading north along the Red Sea.
The fifth cruise missile was intercepted by Saudi Arabia.
The Pentagon suggested that the missiles' trajectory indicates that they were most likely headed to occupied Palestine to strike Israeli positions.
