Sana'a – Saba:
The Revolution Leader, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, affirmed that the Yemeni naval operations, which resulted in the sinking of two ships belonging to violating companies, confirm the steadfastness of Yemen’s resolute stance in banning navigation for the Israeli enemy as long as the aggression and siege on Gaza continue.
In his speech on Thursday regarding the developments of the aggression on the Gaza Strip and international and regional developments, Sayyid Abdulmalik stated: “The decision to ban the Israeli enemy from navigation in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea is a continuous decision in all stages. It has never stopped or been canceled—it remains in effect. Monitoring has been ongoing, and what is new is the violations by some companies.”
He reaffirmed that allowing the reopening of the Um al-Rashrash port (Eilat) is prohibited, adding: “Our decision to ban navigation for the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden is firm, steadfast, and ongoing as long as the Israeli enemy continues its aggression and siege on the Gaza Strip.”
He added: “This week, there were attempts to reopen the Um al-Rashrash port, and some maritime transport companies began violating the ban by shipping to Um al-Rashrash, disregarding the prohibition and assuming they could get away with it.”
He considered what happened in the Red Sea a clear lesson for all maritime transport companies operating in favor of the Israeli enemy, warning that they will be dealt with firmly. He emphasized that no company transporting goods for the Israeli enemy in the declared theater of operations will be permitted.
The Revolution Leader spoke about the effectiveness of the Yemeni front in the battle of “The Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad,” stressing that the support operations from Yemen—the land of faith, wisdom, and jihad—continue at a high pace.
He explained that the Yemeni naval operations were carried out by the armed forces in coordination between the navy, missile forces, and drones, resulting in the sinking of the two ships. He pointed out that this week’s operations included air defense and missile forces repelling Israeli aggression, successfully preventing enemy aircraft from penetrating Yemeni airspace and completing their hostile objectives.
He noted that the Israeli enemy’s airstrikes targeted ports in Hodeidah from outside Yemeni airspace, affirming that the Israeli aggression and its American-Western support and propaganda campaigns do not affect Yemen’s firm stance in supporting Gaza and standing with the Palestinian people.
He highlighted that this week’s operations included 45 hypersonic and ballistic missiles, drones, and naval boats, targeting various locations in occupied Palestine, including Jaffa, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Um al-Rashrash. Among these were the dawn operation today and the naval operations. He noted that today’s dawn operation led to a temporary suspension of flights at Ben Gurion Airport (Lod), with millions of Zionists fleeing in terror to shelters.
Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi reaffirmed that Yemen’s stance in supporting Gaza is religious, principled, humanitarian, and moral. He added: “As the Yemeni people, we are clear-sighted, resolute, and ready for sacrifices and steadfastness no matter the challenges or the level of confrontation.”
He continued: “Our great people’s stance in choosing to support the Palestinian people is a response to Allah, a jihad in His path, and a movement against tyranny and Zionist-Jewish criminality. It reflects their true faith, wisdom, and moral commitment.”
He pointed out that Yemen’s military and multi-front stance against the Israeli enemy has a clear impact on the enemy entity, adding: “We must maintain the same spirit in our weekly million-man marches as we do in military operations—without weakness or fatigue.”
The Leader began his speech by addressing the tragedies, atrocities, and brutal crimes committed this week in Gaza by the criminal Zionist killers, witnessed by a numb world. He stated that this generation will witness the greatest scandal and most disgraceful decline of the international community, as we see the death of human conscience.
He noted that the world watches as over two million people in Gaza—children, women, and the sick—starve, thirst, and are exterminated by a gang of Zionist criminals. He pointed out that the tyrannical and criminal U.S. sponsors the Zionists and shares in their crimes in Gaza while claiming to lead the international community.
“The West has spared no means of killing and genocide in supporting the criminal Zionist butchers,” he said. “What kind of civilized world is this where hundreds of thousands of children yearn for a loaf of bread while it is stockpiled in hundreds of trucks just a stone’s throw from Gaza?”
He added: “What kind of civilized world insists on leaving 600,000 children in Gaza amid the rubble without shelter?” He explained that the Israeli enemy this week killed and wounded over 3,700 Palestinians, most of them children , women, all of them displaced and awaiting aid.
The Revolution Leader stated that this morning’s massacre in Deir al-Balah targeted young children and infants as families gathered to receive nutritional supplements for their children. He confirmed that the Israeli enemy uses starvation and death traps for extermination, as witnessed by international organizations.
“According to international organizations, flour in Gaza has become 3,000 times more expensive than its normal price, while its entry into Gaza is already banned,” he said. He noted that the Israeli enemy continues its efforts to forcibly displace Palestinians, creating an environment devoid of health conditions.
He pointed out that demolition and destruction operations force Gaza’s population into extremely cramped areas, causing suffering and health crises. He condemned the Israeli enemy’s ongoing assaults in the occupied West Bank, including killings, bulldozing, forced displacement, kidnapping crimes, and the expansion of settlements on stolen land.
Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi affirmed that the Israeli enemy is pursuing a new scheme called “The Nine Emirates,” a malicious plan to recruit collaborators from among Palestinians to implement it. However, he stressed that this scheme will fail.
He noted that the Zionists continue to violate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque almost daily, along with Judaization efforts in Al-Quds. The enemy entity persists in demolishing Palestinian houses in Al-Quds, expelling residents, establishing settlements in and around the city.
He praised the heroic operations of Gaza’s resistance factions, reflecting their steadfastness in confronting four Zionist military brigades despite widespread abandonment—except for rare exceptions. Their high morale is evident in their effective combat performance.
“The mujahideen’s operations in Gaza reflect steadfastness with effective, impactful combat performance that inflicts losses on the enemy and frustrates its tactics, despite its attempts to diversify them,” he said. “This week, Al-Qassam Brigades carried out 16 diverse operations, including 10 targeting enemy vehicles, five bombardments, and one targeting enemy infantry.”
The Leader cited the Beit Hanoun ambush last Monday night as a peak of creative resistance combat and effective jihadist performance, despite the enemy’s new tactics aimed at full invasion and control of Gaza—which have failed.
He reiterated the Israeli enemy’s failure over 21 months, despite its capabilities and full American support. He praised the continued effectiveness of Gaza’s mujahideen despite their harsh conditions, exposing the true reality of the Israeli enemy.
He described the mujahideen’s performance as impactful, inflicting direct losses on the enemy while thwarting its goals. He noted that Israeli soldiers show fear and terror when engaging with mujahideen in Palestine, contrasting their bold attacks on civilians.
“There are major gaps and weaknesses in the Zionist Jews’ reality, but they primarily benefit from the Muslims’ inaction,” he said. The enemy’s failure reveals their psychological fragility and highlights the disgrace of Muslim inaction.
Regarding Lebanon, the Revolution Leader affirmed that the Israeli enemy continues aggression and grave violations of its agreement with Lebanon, encouraged by U.S. support.
He stated that the enemy persists in killings, airstrikes from southern to northern Lebanon, land bulldozing, home demolitions, and incursions. The enemy, backed by the U.S., seeks to impose new equations and conditions outside the agreement to strip the Lebanese people of their strength.
He stressed that the resistance’s weapons protect Lebanon from Israeli occupation and direct control, commending Lebanon’s official rejection of these violations as positive and correct, deserving support from the entire Islamic world.
“Lebanon must officially remain firm in rejecting all dictates by which the U.S. and Israel seek to bypass the agreement,” he said.
Regarding Syria, Sayyid Abdulmalik noted that the Israeli enemy continues incursions into Syrian territories, bulldozing, demolishing houses, and raiding villages.
“The enemy’s incursion has reached the outskirts of Damascus, just 10 kilometers from the capital, despite the normalization track declared by Syria’s controlling authorities,” he said. He emphasized that the enemy’s actions in Syria are evidence of Jewish hostility toward Muslims.
“All false notions of peace, coexistence, friendship, or alliance with the Israeli enemy are baseless and contrary to reality and the Quran,” he declared.
The Revolution Leader affirmed that sacrifices and suffering in the path of truth, patience, and steadfastness are accounted for by Allah and yield results in this life and the hereafter, in the direction that pleases Allah.
“The burdens grow with neglect, but responsibility also increases. No matter the hardship, relief and victory come from Allah as long as you remain steadfast, patient, and reliant on Him, taking the means for His support,” he said.
He added: “Relief comes from Allah even in the harshest conditions and most difficult stages. At the greatest adversities, Allah intervenes with His care, no matter how severe the trials. Patience in action brings glad tidings from Allah of relief and praiseworthy outcomes.”
Sayyid Abdulmalik described the choice of loyalty to enemies as extremely dangerous, leading those who take it to ruin and loss. He warned that inaction, neglect, and shirking responsibility—especially while witnessing these events—entails grave consequences.
He praised the Yemeni people’s voluntary, high-spirited million-man marches in response to Allah, reflecting honor and dignity in limited hours on a specific day each week.
In contrast, he noted, millions of Zionist Jews flee in terror to shelters—sometimes in the middle of the night—when Yemeni missiles are launched, forced into humiliation.
The Leader affirmed that Yemen’s level of popular activities, protests, and marches outweighs those of all other countries combined.
He highlighted protests in 15 countries across Europe, the U.S., South Korea, and others, including Sweden, where demonstrations took place despite heavy rain. “It is important that the humanitarian voice continues in support of the Palestinian people,” he said.
“Our people’s broad, unwavering popular interaction embodies belonging, faith, and great values,” he said, praising their loyalty and steadfastness as evidence of Yemen’s morals and greatness.
He called on the Yemeni people to participate in tomorrow’s million-man march in Sana'a and other provinces, reaffirming their steadfast stance no matter the challenges or sacrifices.
The Revolution Leader concluded: “Our people are confident in Allah’s true promise, for the outcome of their response to Allah is the victory and clear triumph He has promised the righteous.”
