<p>The United States faced immense difficulty in its efforts to halt <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yaf-iraqi-joint-operation-hits-vital-israeli-target-in-haifa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yemeni military operations</a>
at sea, and facing the operations was not an easy task, the leader of
the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine
al-Houthi, said on Thursday</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi revealed during his weekly address that this week's
support operations for the Yemeni front included 12 operations as part
of the fourth escalation phase. He noted that last week's operations
involved the use of 20 ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone, and a
boat across the maritime theater of operations.</p>
<p>Discussing the targets, al-Houthi mentioned that six ships were
targeted, bringing the total number of ships attacked since the
beginning of the support operations to 162. "The Americans recognize the
strength of our strikes and have acknowledged that we have forced their
entire naval fleet to retreat, a valuable lesson for them," al-Houthi
asserted.</p>
<p>He further explained, "The Americans are re-evaluating their
capabilities, tactics, and methods of combating and confronting this
level of threat and danger."</p>
<p>Al-Houthi also highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by US naval
warships in the Red Sea, stating, "American warships in the Red Sea are
being chased by missiles and drones, and they are fleeing at the highest
speed they can muster."</p>
<p>He concluded by affirming the resilience and advancement of Yemeni
forces, "Our army and people remain steadfast, and the development of
our capabilities continues to surpass and counter enemy technologies.
The enemies have acknowledged the advancement of our missiles, drones,
and naval boats due to the intensity and precision of recent strikes."</p>
<h2>Silence serving Israelis</h2>
<p>The lack of engagement and concern regarding serious events within
Arab and Islamic countries is a crisis afflicting both communities,
al-Houthi said<span>.</span></p>
<p>"One of the most dangerous points of weakness that the enemies count
in their favor in the reality of Arabs and Muslims is the weakness of
interaction and interest in serious events," al-Houthi stressed.</p>
<p>Al-Houthi expressed concern over the diminishing attention to the
prolonged aggression on Gaza, noting that many people lose interest in
following events and reacting to them over time. In that light, he
emphasized, "What is happening in Palestine is not ordinary news that
one can get used to hearing and remain indifferent to. It is a crime of
genocide against an oppressed and Muslim people, a horrific and criminal
bloodbath unparalleled."</p>
<p>Recalling the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation forces,
Al-Houthi cited a particularly heinous act where Israeli soldiers killed
an elderly woman by running her over with tanks in front of her
relatives in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood. "The Israeli enemy boasts
about its horrific crimes, and it is unfortunate that they are
completely ignored by Arab regimes," he said.</p>
<h2>Arab regimes cater to the occupation</h2>
<p>Sayyed Al-Houthi also criticized Arab governments for their stance
toward Resistance movements in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, labeling
the resistance as terrorists while ignoring the criminal acts of the
Israeli occupation.</p>
<p>"The Arab regimes still classify the fighters in Palestine, Lebanon,
and Yemen as terrorists, while the criminal terrorism of the enemy in
Palestine does not fall under the classifications or positions of the
Arab regimes," he stated.</p>
<p>He mentioned that the Arab League recently reaffirmed its
classification of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. "It was
expected that the official Arab regimes would revoke the offensive
classifications against the fighters in Palestine, at the very least,"
he remarked.</p>
<p>Al-Houthi condemned the way Arab media described the Israeli
occupation, stating, "The Arab regimes in their media respect the enemy
entity in their descriptions and carefully choose expressions so as not
to offend the Zionist enemies."</p>
<h2>The Situation in Gaza</h2>
<p>Discussing the dire situation in Gaza, al-Houthi highlighted the
severe measures of starvation imposed by the occupation. "It is one of
the most severe types of injustice and the greatest violations of human
rights," he said.</p>
<p>He explained that since the enemy occupied the Rafah border crossing,
even the minimal entry of aid has ceased. "The tragedy is immense
concerning starvation, and the enemy threatens the lives of 300,000
children and nearly 700,000 Palestinians who are in great suffering,"
al-Houthi elaborated. </p>
<p>On the situation in the West Bank, Al-Houthi accused the occupation
of trying to impose a new reality by tightening restrictions on
Palestinians and disregarding previous agreements. "The occupation's
approval of five new settlements in the West Bank is an attempt to
impose a new reality and a disregard for previous agreements," he
pointed out.</p>
<h2>Condemnation of US support for 'Israel'</h2>
<p>Al-Houthi went on to strongly criticize the continued support and
cooperation of the United States with the Israeli occupation. "The
Americans continue to support and cooperate with the enemy entity,"
al-Houthi stressed.</p>
<p>"Presidential candidates in America compete in their election
campaigns over who is more loyal to Zionism and more supportive of the
enemy," he went on to say.</p>
<p>Further emphasizing the U.S. role in the conflict, Al-Houthi pointed
out, "The American is a primary partner and contributor to the enemy's
criminality, occupation, and aggression, as shown by Biden's statement."</p>
<p>He referred to a statement by President Biden, asserting, "Biden's
claim that they saved 'Israel' shows the impact and extent of Operation
al-Aqsa Flood that shook the enemy."</p>
<p>Moreover, al-Houthi discussed the significant repercussions of
Operation al-Aqsa Flood, noting the chaos and widespread fear it caused
among Israelis. "As a result of the comprehensive Zionist confusion and
panic following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the Americans took the lead
and appeared to be fully managing the battle," he remarked.</p>
<h2>Resistance operations impactful</h2>
<p>Highlighting the resilience of Palestinian fighters, al-Houthi
stated, "The Resistance fighters in Gaza continue with full
effectiveness, impact, and steadfastness in confronting the enemy forces
on all battlefronts."</p>
<p>He also noted a significant development this week, where the
Resistance broadcasted a video showing the continuation of military
manufacturing in light of the unfolding war. "The continuation of
manufacturing is an additional important proof of the resistance's
ability to endure and adapt to the conditions of the battle," al-Houthi
added.</p>
<p>Praising the diversity and creativity of the resistance's tactics, he
concluded, "The variety of resistance methods and their ingenuity in
inflicting damage on the enemy soldiers demonstrate their effectiveness,
cohesion, and steadfastness."</p></div></div></div>
