Sana’a – SABA:
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, affirmed that the Israeli aggression targeting Sana’a International Airport is part of a broader attempt to pressure the Yemeni people for their unwavering stance in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people.
At the start of his lecture delivered this afternoon—part of his ongoing Quranic lecture series—Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the Israeli enemy seeks to isolate the Palestinian people, hoping for no reaction from any Muslim nation.
He noted that after the failure of U.S. aggression, the Israeli entity remains in a weakened state and is now attempting to restore deterrence through repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that no matter the scale or repetition of Israeli attacks, it will not change Yemen’s religious and principled stance in supporting the dear people of Palestine. He remarked, “One of the objectives of the Israeli strike on Sana’a Airport may be to hinder the transport of pilgrims, but, God willing, they will fail.”
He added that the rebuilding of Sana’a Airport will continue at the level necessary to keep it operational.
“We are striving for a stronger position alongside the Palestinian people, who are enduring an unprecedented level of suffering,” he stated, noting that the ongoing atrocities by the Israeli enemy place a greater responsibility on the Islamic Ummah.
He emphasized that the continued genocide of Palestinians compels the Yemeni people to escalate their military operations against the Israeli enemy, based on faith, ethics, and humanity. The suffering of the Palestinian people, he said, is now greater than ever before, both in terms of the impact of the severe siege and starvation and the accumulation of Israeli war crimes.
He concluded by reaffirming that the escalation in Gaza motivates further efforts to intensify operations by the Yemeni armed forces and all related activities.
Sayyed al-Houthi also extended heartfelt congratulations to the Islamic Ummah and the honorable Yemeni people on the arrival of the blessed month of Dhul-Hijjah.
