News - Yemen:  In a major address on Thursday, Yemen's leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi announced that the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a series of precision strikes this week, targeting Israeli positions in Jaffa, Beersheba, Ashkelon, and Umm al-Rashrash using 10 missiles and drones.

The operations come as Yemen’s naval blockade on Israeli-affiliated shipping in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea remains fully enforced—a strategic move that has significantly disrupted enemy logistics.

He emphasized Yemen’s moral clarity, framing its sacrifices as "a source of pride, honor, and divine acceptance" with profound consequences in the battle for justice.

"The West portrays Israeli aggression as 'self-defense,' as if Arabs invaded distant lands to massacre them," he remarked, condemning U.S. and European attempts to deny Muslim nations their right to resist oppression.

Responding to Israeli threats of retaliation against Yemen, leader declared: "Past aggressions—including 107 airstrikes and naval bombardments—only strengthened our determination."

He dismissed U.S. efforts to intimidate Yemen through 1,700+ airstrikes, including stealth bomber raids, as futile. "Our sacrifices are divinely blessed and will yield historic outcomes," he asserted.

The leader cautioned that Israel’s ambitions extend beyond Palestine. "Had they crushed Gaza, neighboring nations would’ve been next," he said, citing Zionist slogans calling for Arab annihilation since 1948.

The leader's speech underscored Yemen’s unshakable stance as both a military and moral counterforce to Israeli-Western hegemony, framing the conflict as an existential struggle for the entire Ummah.
