Houthis vow retaliation after 'Israeli' attacks on Yemen

The Houthi movement, officially known as Ansar Allah, issued its first response to 'Israeli' airstrikes on Yemen, describing the attacks as "terrorist war crimes."

Houthi leader Mohammed Ali al-Houthi condemned the 'Israeli'-American strikes on civilian sites in Yemen, stating that they "will not deter Yemen from fulfilling its duty to support Gaza." He emphasized Yemen's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause.

Another senior Houthi figure, Nasr al-Din Amer, declared that targeting civilian infrastructure "will not affect Yemen's offensive capabilities to deter the Zionist enemy." He described the conflict as a "holy war in solidarity with Gaza and the West Bank."

Houthi-affiliated media reported that nine people were killed and three others injured in the 'Israeli' airstrikes, which targeted key infrastructure in Sana’a and Hodeidah, including central power stations.

In retaliation, the Houthi military spokesperson announced a successful operation targeting two military sites in occupied Jaffa, calling it a direct response to the 'Israeli' attacks.
