As part of Yemen’s support front, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out 11 operations with hypersonic missiles and drones against Israeli targets in occupied Palestine, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announced.
In his weekly speech addressing the latest developments regarding the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, as well as international and regional events, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that since Yemen began its operations in support of Gaza, a total of 1,679 operations have been carried out, in which a myriad of missiles, drones, and USVs were deployed.
Furthermore, he reiterated the movement’s commitment to strengthening its military capabilities, vowing that future actions would be "more effective in punishing and pressuring the Israeli enemy."
The Yemeni Resistance leader also noted that the maritime blockade on the occupation remains in place, asserting that the port of Umm al-Rashrash, in southern occupied Palestine, has once again been completely shut down as a result.
Open borders for Yemenis
Sayyed al-Houthi renewed his appeal to the governments of countries geographically located between Yemen and Palestine to "open passageways for our people,” so that Yemenis mobilize in the hundreds of thousands in support of Gaza.
“Opening those corridors is something we wish for and continue to pursue,” he added.
Calls for unprecedented turnout
Sayyed al-Houthi called for an “unprecedented” mass mobilization across Yemen on Friday, urging the public for a massive turnout in a show of solidarity with Gaza. “This must be a historic turnout,” he said, “especially in light of the disgraceful silence and complicity of most Islamic governments.”
He affirmed that Yemen’s position remains unchanged despite US, British, and Israeli aggression and that economic warfare, siege, and media campaigns have failed to weaken the resolve of the Yemeni people.
‘Shameful Silence’ amid Gaza famine
Addressing the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the Yemeni Resistance leader criticized international organizations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for what he described as a “shameful” failure to act.
“With Gaza under siege and famine spreading, it is a huge disgrace that the international community and Islamic institutions remain inactive,” he said.
Sayyed al-Houthi added that Palestinians in Gaza feel abandoned not only by the international community but first and foremost by Arab and Muslim countries. “The responsibility lies with them before anyone else,” he concluded.
