The US aggression on Yemen was coordinated with "Israel", Lilach Shoval, a military correspondent for Israel Hayom, revealed in an interview with Channel 12 on Sunday, anticipating a response by Ansar Allah.
She stated that for months, due to the weakness of former US President Joe Biden’s administration, "a relatively poor and weak group"—referring to Ansar Allah—was able to cripple much of international trade and disrupt it.
Current US President Donald Trump, however, has signaled that this will not continue under his administration, and has launched a series of attacks on Yemen.
Shoval also disclosed that "Israel" contributed intelligence to the US, though she downplayed its significance, claiming "Israeli intelligence on Ansar Allah is not impressive."
She reiterated her expectation that Ansar Allah will retaliate against the latest US aggression by directing their fire toward "Israel" in the coming days, revealing that the occupation's security and military institutions are currently preparing for this possibility.
US strikes may trigger new stage in Yemeni support for Gaza: Exclusive
US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday the launch of military strikes against Yemen's Ansar Allah in response to the group's operations in the Red Sea, warning that if they did not cease targeting Israeli and Israeli-affiliated commercial vessels along with US warships operating in the region, "hell will rain down upon you."
"The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," Trump posted on Truth Social.
The NYT reported that the United States launched large-scale military strikes against "dozens of targets" in Yemen, stating that US President Trump ordered airstrikes on alleged "radars, air defenses, and missile and drone systems," while Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that multiple airstrikes by the US-UK coalition targeted residential neighborhoods, leading to civilian casualties.
Meanwhile, a high-level Yemeni source warned on Saturday that the US-UK aggression on Yemen, which saw several raids targeting several Yemeni cities, could lead to an escalation in support for Gaza.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, the Yemeni source assured that the attacks on the country will not go unanswered, warning that the US strikes may trigger new stages in Yemeni support for Gaza.
The source reaffirmed that "Israeli-linked vessels will not pass through the designated naval zone" following the ban announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces, asserting that the Israeli occupation is under a real siege, while renewing Sanaa's supporting stance for Palestine.
"Yemen will continue this support, whatever the consequences," the source further affirmed, explaining that the aggression "solidifies Yemen's stance and its effectiveness in countering the Israeli entity and its backers."
