The leader of the Yemeni "Ansar Allah" movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, emphasized that "the Americans have become arrogant and committed their folly by targeting a group of Yemeni naval heroes while performing their sacred mission in the Red Sea treacherously and aggressively. This criminal aggression will not go unanswered and will be punished." He also called in a statement on "the loyal people of Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom, pride and dignity, and courage, to come out tomorrow, Friday, in large demonstrations and marches, especially in Sanaa at the 70th Square, to let the noble Yemeni people’s voice and word be heard by the whole world in steadfast support of the oppressed Palestinian people, who are subjected to genocidal crimes by the Zionist Jews, who are completely destroying their cities and homes in Gaza."
A statement issued by Mr. Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi in the name of God the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful said: God Almighty said in the Holy Quran: "March forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if you only knew" (Surah At-Tawbah, 41).
Al-Houthi pointed out that "the front of Yemen has become an active and influential front against the Zionist enemies, starting with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, reaching significant and impactful measures on the economy and trade of the Zionist enemies by preventing their associated ships from crossing through the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, Bab al-Mandab, and the Red Sea. This is having a great effect on the Zionists, stirring anger among American Zionists, who participate in all forms of criminality using rockets, bombs, and shells provided by the American administration to kill the Palestinian people."
