Why it matters:
The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah's statements indicate that Yemenis will continue missile and drone attacks against occupied Palestine without fear of Israeli retaliation.
What he's saying:
The leader of Ansarullah, Sayyed Abdulmalik said that the attack on Sana'a Airport is an attempt to weaken support for Palestinians and isolate them. Al-Houthi added that after the halt of U.S. attacks on Yemen and Israel's failures, the country is trying to restore its deterrence through repeated attacks on Yemen's civilian facilities.
- The Israeli enemy is trying to restore deterrence through this repeated aggression on civilian facilities in our country.
- No matter the scale or repetition of the Israeli aggression, it will never affect our people’s stance in supporting the Palestinian people
- One of the possible goals of the Israeli aggression on Sana'a Airport may be to hinder the transport of pilgrims, but, Allah willing, it will fail. The repeated restoration of Sana'a Airport will continue to the necessary extent that ensures its ongoing operation.
- We strive for a stronger stance alongside the Palestinian people in their unprecedented suffering.
- The longer the Israeli enemy continues its crimes against the Palestinian people, the greater the responsibility on the Islamic Ummah.
- The ongoing extermination of the Palestinian people compels us, out of religious, moral, humanitarian responsibility, to escalate our military operations against the Israeli enemy.
- The escalation in Gaza drives us to continue, strive for escalation against the Israeli enemy in the Armed Forces' operations and in all other activities.
Go deeper:
Yemen is the only Arab country that has directly engaged in military support for the people of Gaza against the Israeli regime. The U.S. bombed Yemen for 53 days, but this did not stop Yemeni attacks on occupied Palestine, and ultimately, the U.S. agreed with Yemen to halt reciprocal attacks.
