Yemen's Ansar Allah movement will continue its operations against "Israel" and its supporters in solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people, according to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the movement's leader.
His remarks came in a televised speech on Thursday, as US and British warplanes launched airstrikes on Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, with the Pentagon confirming the use of B-2 stealth bombers for the first time in the region.
Al-Houthi condemned the airstrikes and accused the US of enabling the Israeli aggression throughout West Asia. "Washington seeks to enable the Tel Aviv regime to dominate the entire region through both political and economic means," he said.
Al-Houthi described "Israel's" expansionist goals as a significant threat not only to Arab countries but to the entire region, calling on Yemenis to protest in support of Palestinians and Lebanese people.
"مجاهدو #حزب_الله ظهروا متماسكين صامدين مستبصرين ولا يزالون يجاهدون بكل فاعلية وتماسك.. الأداء القتالي لمجاهدي حزب الله يؤكد تماسكهم التام وأن القيادة والسيطرة موجودة"

He also accused the US of complicity in "Israel's" genocidal campaign in Gaza and Lebanon, stating, "The US is a partner in every sense of the word with the Zionist regime in its crimes and brutalities."
Without American support, "Israel" would not have been able to continue its military campaigns for such a prolonged period, he said.
Al-Houthi pointed to the atrocities in Gaza as evidence of "Israel's" cruelty, citing the occupation's indiscriminate targeting of civilians and its attempts to block food and water from reaching northern Gaza.
He emphasized that international bodies, including the United Nations, have failed to halt the genocide, urging the Muslim world to rise against Israeli aggression.
Ansar Allah hails Hezbollah efforts
The Ansar Allah leader also praised Hezbollah in Lebanon for its resistance efforts, describing the movement as a key player in defending Lebanon from Israeli aggression.
He noted that Israeli threats against Lebanon have been ongoing for over 45 years, lauding Hezbollah fighters for their dedication to their duties despite the loss of leaders such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Al-Houthi further praised the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, encouraging the wider Arab world to follow their example in opposing Israeli expansionism.

Al-Houthi criticized some Arab governments for their lack of practical support for the Palestinian people, asserting that the situation would be different if these nations had provided more robust assistance.
He also condemned "Israel’s" recent actions against Iran, particularly the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Concluding his speech, al-Houthi emphasized that the Israeli regime's violence against women and children under the guise of self-defense is unacceptable, calling for greater resistance to "Israel's" actions in Gaza, Lebanon, and across the region.
