Ansarallah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned that any Israeli presence in
Somaliland would be considered a military target, describing the move as an
illegitimate threat to Somalia, Yemen, and Red Sea security.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement warned on Sunday that any Israeli
presence in Somaliland would be treated as a legitimate military target.

In a written statement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi described Israel’s reported
recognition of Somaliland as a separate entity from Somalia as a hostile
and illegitimate act, arguing that it threatens Somalia’s sovereignty as
well as the security of neighboring African states, Yemen, and countries
bordering the Red Sea.

Al-Houthi stressed that the move carries no legal or political weight,
stating that recognition issued by an occupying power lacks legitimacy and
cannot be considered valid under international law. He said the step
reflects aggressive intentions and is aimed at expanding Israeli influence
in the region.

According to the statement, Israel seeks to transform Somaliland into a
base for hostile activities targeting Somalia, surrounding African nations,
Yemen, and the wider Arab world.

Al-Houthi warned that such a development would pose a serious threat to
security in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Reaffirming his unwavering support for the Somali people, al-Houthi said
Ansarallah would take all necessary measures to stand with them, including
treating any Israeli presence in Somaliland as a military target. He
described such a presence as an attack on both Somalia and Yemen and a
direct threat to regional stability.

He added that Ansarallah would not allow any part of Somalia to become a
foothold for Israel at the expense of the country’s independence, unity,
and sovereignty.

Al-Houthi also called on states bordering the Red Sea, as well as countries
across the Arab and Islamic world, to take concrete steps to prevent Israel
from violating the sovereignty of Somalia and other independent nations.

Ansarallah has, over the past two years, launched missile and drone
operations against Israel in response to Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza
Strip, including operations targeting Israeli-linked shipping in the Red
Sea.

Israel, in turn, has carried out repeated airstrikes on Yemen, particularly
in areas under Ansarallah control, including the capital Sanaa, causing
widespread destruction and killing several senior figures.
