"Israel" is attempting to carry out the plans of its "criminal generals and bloodthirsty officers" to empty northern Gaza of its population, pointed out the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, on Thursday.

In his weekly speech, Sayyed al-Houthi said "Israel" seeks to forcibly displace the Palestinian people from the northern Gaza Strip by committing the most heinous crimes, adding that the occupation aims to end all medical services in northern Gaza by targeting hospitals and medical staff.

He also indicated that the Israeli crimes against Palestinian detainees and captives are "among the most atrocious, perhaps unparalleled in all prisons."

US whitewashing Israeli crimes 

The Ansar Allah leader accused the United States of covering up the crimes of the Israeli occupation, noting that Washington is whitewashing the Israeli crimes by justifying the genocide as an act of "self-defense".

Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the Israeli targeting of media and journalists is aimed at "concealing the truth from the world."

According to the Yemeni leader, the "equation of impunity" allows "Israel" to strike wherever it desires within any Muslim country without fear of retaliation.

He warned that such an equation is unjust and wrongful, one that poses a threat to the Islamic Ummah and should never be accepted by any Muslim, Arab, or free nation worldwide.

US, European call for Iran not to retaliate 'outrageous'

Addressing ceasefire negotiations, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that "Israel" demands the right to operate freely and seeks to deny any country in the region independence, freedom, or sovereignty.

The Ansar Allah leader condemned recent calls by the US and European countries for Iran not to respond to the latest Israeli aggression on the country, labeling these demands as "outrageous".

He also pointed out that the military arsenal "Israel" relies upon to execute its crimes is largely US-supplied, with US funds supporting 75% of the occupation's logistical needs throughout the year.

US military bases and naval forces in the region, he added, serve to support "Israel" and exert regional pressure on its behalf.

On the ramming operation that targeted dozens of Israeli officers and soldiers from Unit 8200, Sayyed al-Houthi affirmed that this operation "instilled terror" in the Israelis and heightened their anxiety and fear.

He further asserted that "Israel" has failed to achieve its objectives, particularly in recovering its captives in the Gaza Strip without a prisoner exchange deal.

Lebanese Resistance showing tremendous resilience

The Ansar Allah leader addressed the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, stressing that over the course of a month-long ground assault on southern Lebanon, the Resistance displayed tremendous resilience, despite Israeli expectations of an easy invasion.

He added that the Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon demonstrated that "Israel" "was defeated in every sense," incurring nearly a thousand casualties and injuries.

Despite immense firepower, the Israeli occupation military failed to achieve any significant ground penetration in southern Lebanon, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted.

He pointed out that "Israel" attempted to adapt its tactics since the July 2006 aggression on Lebanon by deploying smaller forces and fewer vehicles but failed.

Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that "Israel" fears the fulfillment of the promise made by martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that the world would witness the destruction of its vehicles live, which is happening.

The Ansar Allah leader reiterated that "Israel" is defeated and thwarted as a result of divine support for Hezbollah’s fighters in their resilience and steadfastness, adding that the occupation has failed with all its systems to prevent the drone strikes launched by the Lebanese Resistance group.

He also congratulated Sheikh Naim Qassem on his election as Hezbollah's news Secretary-General.

Yemeni operations ongoing, 202 vessels targeted

Regarding the Yemeni support front for Gaza, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that among the unique naval operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) this week was the targeting of four ships east of Socotra in the easternmost part of the Arabian Sea.

He emphasized the continuation of Yemen’s maritime operations "to hunt vessels linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies."

The Ansar Allah leader revealed that the YAF is working to strengthen the targeting routes for ships linked to the enemy and to track the new paths to which their ships flee in the ocean.

He explained that "Israel" and its associates are attempting to escape with their ships toward the Indian Ocean due to its vast expanse.

According to the Yemeni leader, the total number of targeted ships linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies has reached 202. He further confirmed that this week, the YAF carried out operations using 13 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.

Touching on the ongoing US aggression on Yemen, Sayyed al-Houthi noted that US forces conduct weekly airstrikes and continue to exert political and economic pressure on the country.

However, the leader made it clear that "no one will be able to stop our operations until the aggression halts, the siege on Gaza is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon ends."

The fronts in Gaza and Lebanon are united as two fronts for a single cause, he pointed out, reiterating that "Israel" must end its aggression.

The Ansar Allah leader pointed to the mobilization within the movement, revealing that 519,029 Yemenis have completed military training and "we hope to reach a million," highlighting that the various mobilization activities, including exercises, military parades, and other events, have reached a total of 2,913.

He also criticized some Arab countries, stating, "In confronting the criminal actions and the Zionist project targeting our Ummah, it is deeply shameful and a serious shortcoming for any Arab country to remain silent."

"Any support for the Zionists, even if only on a media level, is a show of allegiance to them," he underlined.

Allegiance to 'Israel' makes one complicit in crimes 

Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that "allegiance to the Zionists makes one complicit in their horrific, unparalleled crimes," affirming that shirking responsibility in confronting Zionism is "a moral, religious, and ethical failure incompatible with Islam."

The Ansar Allah leader emphasized that the Ummah stands at a crossroads, facing two stark choices: "Either to submit in humiliation and endure the immense consequences of that decision or to take a stand in alignment with what is just and righteous."

He expressed his view that the Security Council is "a council of security for the oppressors, not for the weak and oppressed."

Finally, Sayyed al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to participate in the nationwide million-man demonstrations on Friday in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon.
