Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah; man of both word and action: Sayyed al-Houthi
The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement affirms in his weekly speech that Yemen stands alongside Hezbollah, its supporters, and its popular base.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is "a martyr of Palestine, al-Quds, al-Aqsa, Islam, and humanity," said the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, describing his assassination as "a huge crime" and loss for the entire Islamic Ummah.
In a speech on Thursday, in which he addressed the developments of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, as well as regional and international updates, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah possessed "Islamic symbolism, had a global, regional, and local impact," and played a major role, particularly in confronting the Israeli threat and inflicting defeats on the occupation.
The martyr had been actively present in the field of jihad with a distinctive stance and exceptional performance for more than 40 years, leading Hezbollah for nearly 30 years with great success and remarkable achievements, he added.
The Yemeni leader emphasized that Sayyed Nasrallah had "high qualifications and remarkable leadership acumen," achieving major victories and being an exemplary figure both in leadership and faith, embodying values, ethics, and wisdom.
The Ansar Allah leader also spoke of the martyr's relationship with his people, pointing out that Sayyed Nasrallah cared deeply about society, stemming from his belief in the importance of the people's role and the high appreciation, honor, and love he held for them.
Sayyed Nasrallah's communication with the people was "strong, as he made every effort to clarify the facts to the people," whom he saw as the major pillar in the struggle, according to Sayyed al-Houthi.
He highlighted that Sayyed Nasrallah's relationship with the masses was strong, and the people reciprocated with love, respect, and trust.
'Israel' greatly concerned with Sayyed Nasrallah's stances
Touching on the martyr's impact on the Israeli public, the Yemeni leader affirmed that the Israeli occupation entity and its settlers were greatly concerned about every stance he took, as well as his words, promises, warnings, and threats.
According to Sayyed al-Houthi, the Israelis recognized the credibility of Sayyed Nasrallah through his statements, confirmations, and vows, acknowledging that he was "a man of both word and action."
He further underscored that the Israeli view of the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah "differed from their view of most of the leadership figures in the Arab and Islamic worlds, both at the official and popular levels," as they were aware of his leadership abilities, courage, faith, and steadfastness in his position.
He added that the Israelis’ perception of the martyr "was unlike their perception of many Arab leaders," whom they neither cared for nor regarded as significant.
In his remarks on the role of the martyred Secretary-General, the Ansar Allah leader emphasized that this role was not limited to occupied Palestine, as he was concerned with the issues of the entire Ummah from an early stage.
In this context, Sayyed al-Houthi recalled that the martyr showed great concern for the plight of Muslims in Bosnia, even while engaged in a fierce battle against the Israeli occupation at the time.
He further noted that the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah remained committed to the causes of oppressed peoples, including the Yemeni people, where his stance was "clear, outspoken, strong, and supportive of the Yemeni people in every way he could."
Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that the martyr played a major, distinctive, and pioneering role in thwarting the US and Israeli conspiracy to stir sectarian strife among Muslims, dedicating huge efforts to fostering friendly and brotherly relations among them.
Hezbollah's journey cannot be shaken by hardships
Regarding Hezbollah, the Ansar Allah leader mentioned that the Israeli occupation was surprised by the Lebanese Resistance group's unique, effective, strong, and impactful journey, which continued to grow and strengthen "the more it was confronted and conspired against."
He pointed out that for more than 40 years, the Israeli occupation had been trying "to eliminate and dismantle Hezbollah’s front," affirming that "Israel" even failed when it targeted specific leaders or prominent figures of the group or committed mass killings.
According to Sayyed al-Houthi, the United States joined "Israel" in conspiring against the Lebanese front.
The Yemeni leader explained that one of the objectives of the Israeli occupation in assassinating Sayyed Nasrallah was to bring about the collapse of Hezbollah’s front and eliminate its key role in supporting the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people.
He added that despite the great loss caused by the martyrdom of Hezbollah's Secretary-General, the group's journey remains firm, steadfast, and active, and cannot be shaken by hardships.
Hezbollah’s front achieved major victories in all past stages, with the group standing out as the primary supporter of the Palestinian people, Sayyed al-Houthi added.
On the potential Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon, the Yemeni leader noted that the Israeli military was shocked and suffered a major blow, even while still at the Lebanese border’s outskirts.
Hezbollah’s state has not changed since the martyrdom of its Secretary-General except that its fighters have become more steadfast, determined, and dedicated to their mission, the Ansar Allah leader pointed out.
Yemen stands alongside Hezbollah, its supporters, and its popular base and always supports the Lebanese people, Sayyed al-Houthi underlined, noting that this is the position of the entire Axis of Resistance.
In this context, he pointed out that Iran "understands the sensitivity of this situation and is heading toward doing what is necessary to support Hezbollah."
"All Muslims bear a great responsibility to take a clear and serious stance in supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples," he asserted, adding that governments must assist their Lebanese counterparts in addressing the needs of the displaced, whose numbers have exceeded one million.
Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted 188 vessels
In his remarks on the achievements of the Yemeni support front, the Ansar Allah leader confirmed that the Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out operations in the Red and Arabian seas, as well as the Indian Ocean, targeting a total of 188 vessels.
The YAF also recently; shot down additional US MQ-9 reconnaissance drones, bringing the total to 11 this year, he noted.
Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the United States and "Israel" sought to escalate their aggression against the Yemeni people, launching 39 airstrikes on Yemen this week alone.
The Israeli aggression on Hodeidah has failed and will fail to force the YAF to halt its operations in support of Gaza and Lebanon, he made it clear.
Alongside the continuation of these operations, the Ansar Allah leader said Yemen's military capabilities are being further developed as part of the fifth phase of escalation against the Israeli occupation in support of the Palestinian people.
On the popular level, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that over half a million people have undergone training as part of the public mobilization effort, with 2,851 exercises, military parades, and mobilization activities conducted.
He also pointed out that the YAF launched missile strikes toward occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv), Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), and locations in the al-Naqab Desert, coinciding with Iran's Operation True Promise 2 against Israeli airbases.
On Iran's Operation True Promise 2
Touching on the Iranian operation, the Yemeni leader asserted that Iran "delivered the largest missile strike Israel has faced since its occupation of Palestinian territories."
He deemed the operation as "successful, powerful, and decisive," despite the presence of US military bases in the region and Washington's assertions that it would protect "Israel".
The Iranian operation was necessary and broke the cycle of intimidation and attempts by the US and its tools to halt it, Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out.
The Yemeni leader stressed that the Ummah must have the courage to take a stance in order to deter the occupation, adding that the occupation cannot be stopped from committing further crimes and escalating its aggression except through impactful, deterrent operations.
Regarding other support fronts, Sayyed al-Houthi mentioned that the Gaza Strip has remained a flaming front for a year, where Resistance fighters have displayed remarkable patience, resilience, and sacrifice.
He also noted that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has carried out intense operations in recent days and is moving toward further escalation with high effectiveness.
In conclusion, Sayyed al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to participate in a massive weekly march on Friday in Sanaa and all provinces, in honor of the martyr Sayyed Nasrallah and in solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and their Resistance fighters.
