News - Middle East: The Palestinian Resistance Committees have voiced their support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to impose a naval blockade on the Port of Haifa.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Committees described the Yemeni blockade as a "qualitative and pivotal shift"—a significant strategic move aimed at deterring the Zionist enemy. They noted that the action will seriously impact the Israeli economy, particularly in light of the earlier disabling of the Port of Eilat and the aerial blockade imposed on Lod Airport.

The statement praised Yemen’s bold move, saying it "shatters the Zionist illusion, arrogance, and pride that Netanyahu seeks to project to his audience."

It further affirmed that Yemen continues on the path of resistance with steadfastness and unwavering resolve, demonstrating that dignity and pride cannot be bought. The statement emphasized that Yemen not only issues warnings but backs them with decisive action.

Since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, Yemen has emerged as one of the most active regional forces confronting the Zionist regime militarily. In response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the continued siege on the Palestinian people, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a series of escalating operations, including missile and drone strikes as well as naval and aerial blockades, targeting Israeli infrastructure and ports.

Initially focusing on the Red Sea and Umm Al-Rashrash port, Yemen successfully disrupted Israeli maritime activity. More recently, the Yemeni Armed Forces expanded their campaign by announcing a naval blockade on Haifa Port in northern occupied Palestine, signaling a strategic escalation in both range and intent.

This latest development comes amid growing concern among Israeli and American officials about Yemen's expanding military reach and sophisticated capabilities. The move has also prompted widespread regional reactions, with resistance factions hailing Yemen’s actions as a major step in pressuring Israel and redefining the regional balance of power.
