ALBAWABA- US-British aircraft launched two raids on Bajil District in Yemen's coastal province of Hodeidah, escalating tensions in the region.
Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, in a televised address marking the anniversary of South Yemen's independence from British rule on November 30, 1967, denounced these strikes and broader Western interventions.
Al-Houthi declared that November 30 symbolizes resilience in Yemen's history, accusing the US and UK of conducting 844 futile air and naval raids.
He emphasized that American aircraft carriers, once considered tools of intimidation, had failed to influence Yemen's resolve, claiming that carriers such as Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln, and others had fled the region due to resistance.
Highlighting recent developments, Al-Houthi pointed to missile strikes on Israel, including operations targeting Ashkelon, the Nevatim Air Base in the Negev, and Umm al-Rashrash, while criticizing Arab nations for logistical support to Israel, which he argued reduced the economic cost of its war efforts.
He also condemned the International Criminal Court for delays in justice, specifically its actions against Mohammed Deif, a prominent Palestinian resistance leader.
Al-Houthi's fiery rhetoric underscored his group's continued defiance against perceived Western and Israeli aggression.
