<p>The Saudi regime &quot;should have responded to calls for peace rather than pursuing escalation and committing crimes,&quot; Ansar Allah spokesman Mohammad Abdelsalam said on Wednesday.</p>
<p>In a statement on X, Abdelsalam said Riyadh is attempting to mislead the international community through false narratives aimed at <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/saudi-aggression-will-not-divert-us-from-palestine--yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intimidating and blackmailing other countries</a>, adding that its objective was to win the sympathy of certain states and persuade them to fight on its behalf.</p>
<p>\u201cIn an irony of fate, its false narratives no longer find listening ears even among its closest allies, and whoever listens to it is only listening to its money,\u201d he added.</p>
<h2>Saudi aggression intensifies, Yemen unleashes top-tier ops</h2>
<p>His statement comes as the Saudi aggression against Yemen intensifies amid an escalation that triggered the Yemeni Armed Forces\u2019 announcement in July that the 2022 truce with Saudi Arabia had collapsed following Saudi Arabia\u2019s aggression on Sanaa International Airport.</p>
<p>Just today, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/32-airstrikes-hit-yemen-s-marib--al-jawf--taiz--and-hodeidah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">43 airstrikes hit several Yemeni provinces</a>, including Marib, al-Jawf, Taiz, and Hodeidah, <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>\u2019s bureau chief in Yemen reported. He said the strikes were aimed at supporting and reinforcing Saudi military mobilizations on the ground.</p>
<p>In response, the Yemeni forces <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemeni-drones-reportedly-struck-saudi-oil--military-sites--d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeted several Saudi economic facilities</a>, including oil refineries operated by Aramco and Abha Airport. They also imposed a maritime ban on vessels arriving in or departing from Saudi Arabia, as part of the \u201cairport for airport and siege for siege\u201d equation.</p>
<p>Recently, the Yemeni Armed Forces have been engaging in confrontations with Saudi-backed forces across several provinces, after launching preemptive strikes against their military mobilizations.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, YAF repelled Saudi troops deployed to Souq Al-Yatama in the Khab wa ash-Sha&#39;af district of the al-Jawf province, a field source told Sanaa&#39;s official <em>Yemen TV</em>.</p>
