    Exclusive: The full story of the seized Galaxy Leader

"We Will Catch Them" is the first Yemeni documentary film that reveals the exclusive story behind the seizure of the Galaxy Leader by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF).

The Yemeni leadership issued its directives to the armed forces several years ago to keep the movements of the Israeli occupation ships, on all paths, under constant surveillance.

The YAF adhered to the directives. The disappearance of the ships' locations, the changing of their flags, or any attempts to camouflage and mislead the monitoring efforts did not prevent the YAF from capturing the ship in the range of intelligence targeting before being military targeting.

The YAF continued to collect information and follow up on multiple missions and all elements required for the success of the mission, including personnel and equipment. All that remained was to wait for the right moment: 12:30 pm on November 19. 

Some of the crew on the Israeli ship were eating, others were playing, on board. The YAF boarded the ship so swiftly that the crew did not realize their presence until it was too late. 

The seizure of Galaxy Leader was the first of an Israeli-linked ship in the Red Sea.

Since then, the YAF has unleashed a naval battle against the Israeli occupation in the Red and Arabian Seas in support of the people of Palestine.

"We Will Catch Them" is the first Yemeni documentary film that reveals the events of the Yemeni Armed Forces' detention of the Galaxy Leader, from zero hour in the Red Sea, all the way to the port of Hodeidah, where it became a tourist attraction.

The film shows the course of the detention process, through live testimonies, given by members of the ship's crew, including Captain Chanev Lubomir.

What was the ship's route? How were the instructions given to detain it? What was the element of surprise in the success of the operation? And what did the commander of the Yemeni naval forces tell the Palestinians?

The answers are found in the documentary, " We Will Conquer Them,” which will air tonight, Thursday, at 9:00 PM, Sanaa and al-Quds time, on Al Mayadeen TV.

Israeli aggression on Yemen won't deter YAF, only affects civilians

Yemeni academics and former US officials who follow the Yemeni situation, according to The New York Times, have maintained that "Israel's" bombing of a crucial port in Yemen is not likely to stop the Yemeni Armed Forces from launching more strikes but would instead make life in the country more difficult.

The primary route for food, fuel, and humanitarian supplies to reach the underprivileged northern Yemen region, home to over 20 million people, was damaged by the Israeli strike on the Hodeidah port, The New York Times reported.

Just yesterday, Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi said that the Israeli occupation chose its targets in Hodeidah with the deliberate intent of crippling Yemen's economy.

Addressing the people of Yemen, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that these attacks were not random but part of a calculated strategy to undermine the economic stability of the country.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, stated that the bombardment was conducted to halt Yemeni operations, adding that "dual-use" targets, such as electricity infrastructure, had been attacked.

Adam Clements, a retired US Army attaché for Yemen, said “The target of the strike does more to hurt the average Yemeni" than Ansar Allah's ability to launch attacks on the Red Sea or "Israel".
