The Yemeni Defense Minister and Chief of General Staff in Sanaa issued on Saturday a stern warning to the "enemies of the nation and the evil trio of America, Britain, and Israel," stating that what is coming will be "harsher and more severe than anything they have faced in the past."

In a congratulatory message on the occasion of the Prophet Mohammed's (PBUH) day of birth, Defense Minister Major General Mohammed Nasser Al-Atifi and Major General Mohammed Al-Ghamari emphasized that "the enemies have tasted defeat at sea," and what happened at sea "is not far from what will happen on land."

The two generals vowed to turn Yemen's response to the Israeli occupation's crime of targeting the port of Hodeidah into a "nightmare for the enemies" that threatens their security, describing their message as a warning to "Israel," stating, "the coming days hold surprises [the enemy] will not expect" and "could [have] never imagined".

They reaffirmed that Yemen's armed forces, with all their divisions and formations, will remain ready "to protect our homeland and sacred sites."

The generals reiterated that Yemen "will respond with an iron fist," and will neither forgive nor forget, ensuring that the "enemy will regret the day it attacked us."

In a speech earlier today, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abed al-Malik al-Houthi, affirmed that Yemen's front in support of Gaza, the "Promised Victory and Holy Jihad," continues with full effectiveness and impact, despite the US-led international coalition carrying out more than 700 airstrikes and naval attacks on Yemen.

Their attacks, he stated, "have not succeeded in limiting the military operations at sea, nor in deterring or stopping them."
