The leader of Yemen’s Houthis, Abdulmalik al Huti, promised today that his political-religious movement will respond to the attacks launched by Israel last week against an important Yemeni port controlled by his forces.
In a speech broadcast on television, Al Huti considered “the response to what the Israeli enemy did in the aggression against Al Hodeida” was inevitable.
The leader of the movement with a Shiite majority and supported by Iran pointed out that the Israeli attacks “will serve as greater motivation to carry out a major reprisal response and also to continue supporting the Palestinian people”, adding that “the movement’s operations are ongoing ” which he leads, in the fifth phase of his offensive against Israel.
“More operations directed against the Israeli enemy in Jaffa, known as Tel Aviv, are imminent by the will of Allah,” he revealed.
Al Huti also warned that the Huthis’ operations will continue “on the seas”, in reference to the actions it has taken since last November against ships linked to Israel in the Red Seas and the Persian Gulf, in “solidarity” with Palestine.
“The aggression carried out by the Israelis, North Americans and British will not prevent us from continuing operations or advancing to the fifth phase”, he stressed in his weekly speech.
Last Friday, the Huthis launched a new ‘drone’ that hit the center of Tel Aviv and caused the death of an Israeli civilian.
In response, Israel launched attacks that particularly hit the Yemeni port of Al Hodeida, one of the most important in the country, causing at least six deaths and a major oil spill in this region of the Red Sea.
