Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni "Ansar Allah" movement, believes that "the strategy of the Israeli enemy after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation is to unleash all its military power and capabilities against the Palestinian people and their fighters in Gaza." He noted that "the Americans are responsible for confronting any threats to the enemy or movements from any Arab or Muslim country to support the Palestinian people, and the Americans are utilizing their massive resources to protect the enemy entity and bringing aircraft carriers and warships to enable it to dominate Gaza."
Al-Houthi emphasized that "the first thing that affected the Zionist strategy is the support front in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has continuously applied pressure," considering that "the Hezbollah front is hot and influential, targeting Israeli sites and settlements, and has helped alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people." He stated that "the support front in the land of faith and wisdom (Yemen) plays an active and effective role against the Israeli enemy in the battle of the promised opening and sacred jihad."
He remarked, "When we started our naval operations to prevent enemy maritime movement, they were active, impactful, and powerful since the takeover of an Israeli ship." Al-Houthi mentioned that "the effective Yemeni operations have consistently hit the enemy and inflicted significant losses, leading to its official announcement of the bankruptcy of the port of Umm al-Rashrash." He announced that "we have added new weapons developed for the Gaza support mission according to the current requirements of the battle."
He added, "The American-British aggression against Yemen, since day one, has not succeeded in halting our operations or diminishing them or weakening them, and the enemy has acknowledged the development of our capabilities along with the new tactics and techniques that have significantly influenced the enemy, which has been unable to stop them."
Al-Houthi explained that "the Israeli enemy, reaching the tenth month, needs more pressure and deterrence to force it to stop its aggression, and we have moved into the fifth phase through the blessed Yaffa operation to employ a new weapon." He continued, "We left it to our brothers in the Palestinian resistance to choose a name for the aircraft that targeted the enemy's administrative depth, which they named 'Yaffa.'"
He declared that "the targeting of Yaffa is the beginning of the fifth phase of escalation, and we consider it a new equation that will continue and consolidate, God willing." He clarified that "the aircraft is of Yemeni manufacture and was launched by Yemeni forces, contrary to claims by some that it was produced and launched by another force."
Al-Houthi concluded by stating that "some cannot bear to acknowledge Yemen's role and effectiveness and the capacity of the Yemeni people and the impact of its army and armed forces for pathological reasons, while the enemy is no longer secure in what is called Tel Aviv, which poses a real problem for the enemy and constitutes a new equation indicating the failure of its protectors and agents."
