The United States faced immense difficulty in its efforts to halt Yemeni military operations at sea, and facing the operations was not an easy task, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine al-Houthi, said on Thursday

Sayyed al-Houthi revealed during his weekly address that this week's support operations for the Yemeni front included 12 operations as part of the fourth escalation phase. He noted that last week's operations involved the use of 20 ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone, and a boat across the maritime theater of operations.

Discussing the targets, al-Houthi mentioned that six ships were targeted, bringing the total number of ships attacked since the beginning of the support operations to 162. "The Americans recognize the strength of our strikes and have acknowledged that we have forced their entire naval fleet to retreat, a valuable lesson for them," al-Houthi asserted.

He further explained, "The Americans are re-evaluating their capabilities, tactics, and methods of combating and confronting this level of threat and danger."

Al-Houthi also highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by US naval warships in the Red Sea, stating, "American warships in the Red Sea are being chased by missiles and drones, and they are fleeing at the highest speed they can muster."

He concluded by affirming the resilience and advancement of Yemeni forces, "Our army and people remain steadfast, and the development of our capabilities continues to surpass and counter enemy technologies. The enemies have acknowledged the advancement of our missiles, drones, and naval boats due to the intensity and precision of recent strikes."

Silence serving Israelis

The lack of engagement and concern regarding serious events within Arab and Islamic countries is a crisis afflicting both communities, al-Houthi said.

"One of the most dangerous points of weakness that the enemies count in their favor in the reality of Arabs and Muslims is the weakness of interaction and interest in serious events," al-Houthi stressed.

Al-Houthi expressed concern over the diminishing attention to the prolonged aggression on Gaza, noting that many people lose interest in following events and reacting to them over time. In that light, he emphasized, "What is happening in Palestine is not ordinary news that one can get used to hearing and remain indifferent to. It is a crime of genocide against an oppressed and Muslim people, a horrific and criminal bloodbath unparalleled."

Recalling the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation forces, al-Houthi cited a particularly heinous act where Israeli soldiers killed an elderly woman by running her over with tanks in front of her relatives in al-Shujaiya neighborhood. "The Israeli enemy boasts about its horrific crimes, and it is unfortunate that they are completely ignored by Arab regimes," he said.

Sayyed al-Houthi also criticized Arab governments for their stance toward Resistance movements in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, labeling the Resistance as terrorists while ignoring the criminal acts of the Israeli occupation.

"The Arab regimes still classify the fighters in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen as terrorists, while the criminal terrorism of the enemy in Palestine does not fall under the classifications or positions of the Arab regimes," he stated.

He mentioned that the Arab League recently reaffirmed its classification of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. "It was expected that the official Arab regimes would revoke the offensive classifications against the fighters in Palestine, at the very least," he remarked.

Al-Houthi condemned the way Arab media described the Israeli occupation, stating, "The Arab regimes in their media respect the enemy entity in their descriptions and carefully choose expressions so as not to offend the Zionist enemies."

The situation in Gaza

Discussing the dire situation in Gaza, al-Houthi highlighted the severe measures of starvation imposed by the occupation. "It is one of the most severe types of injustice and the greatest violations of human rights," he said.

He explained that since the enemy occupied the Rafah border crossing, even the minimal entry of aid has ceased. "The tragedy is immense concerning starvation, and the enemy threatens the lives of 300,000 children and nearly 700,000 Palestinians who are in great suffering," al-Houthi elaborated. 

On the situation in the West Bank, al-Houthi accused the occupation of trying to impose a new reality by tightening restrictions on Palestinians and disregarding previous agreements. "The occupation's approval of five new settlements in the West Bank is an attempt to impose a new reality and a disregard for previous agreements," he pointed out.

Condemnation of US support for 'Israel'

Al-Houthi went on to strongly criticize the continued support and cooperation of the United States with the Israeli occupation. "The Americans continue to support and cooperate with the enemy entity," al-Houthi stressed.

"Presidential candidates in America compete in their election campaigns over who is more loyal to Zionism and more supportive of the enemy," he went on to say.

Further emphasizing the U.S. role in the conflict, al-Houthi pointed out, "The American is a primary partner and contributor to the enemy's criminality, occupation, and aggression, as shown by Biden's statement."

He referred to a statement by President Biden, asserting, "Biden's claim that they saved 'Israel' shows the impact and extent of Operation al-Aqsa Flood that shook the enemy."

Moreover, al-Houthi discussed the significant repercussions of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, noting the chaos and widespread fear it caused among Israelis. "As a result of the comprehensive Zionist confusion and panic following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the Americans took the lead and appeared to be fully managing the battle," he remarked.

Resistance operations impactful

Highlighting the resilience of Palestinian fighters, al-Houthi stated, "The Resistance fighters in Gaza continue with full effectiveness, impact, and steadfastness in confronting the enemy forces on all battlefronts."

He also noted a significant development this week, where the Resistance broadcasted a video showing the continuation of military manufacturing in light of the unfolding war. "The continuation of manufacturing is an additional important proof of the resistance's ability to endure and adapt to the conditions of the battle," al-Houthi added.

Praising the diversity and creativity of the Resistance's tactics, he concluded, "The variety of resistance methods and their ingenuity in inflicting damage on the enemy soldiers demonstrate their effectiveness, cohesion, and steadfastness."
