According to Iran International English, the Houthi movement has issued a stern warning to Israel following a series of Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) airstrikes across Yemen on Tuesday. The strikes targeted critical infrastructure, including Sanaa International Airport, electrical power stations, and a cement factory, as part of an effort to weaken the Iranian-backed group.
Mahdi al-Mashat, President of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, responded sharply on Tuesday evening. “Our response will be devastating and painful, and will not be able to be borne by the Israeli enemy,” he said.
He went on to caution Israeli citizens directly: “To all Zionists, from now on, stay in your shelters, or leave your country immediately, because your failed government will no longer be able to protect you.”
Al-Mashat further stated, “The aggressor will realize that the price he will pay is high, and no aggression will deter us from our decision to support Gaza until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted.”
In a statement released shortly after the attacks, the Houthis condemned what they called “Israeli and American aggression,” asserting it would not go unanswered. “The Israeli enemy’s targeting of civilian infrastructure and facilities in Sanaa and other regions is additional evidence of the entity’s impotence and bankruptcy,” they claimed.
They added, “Targeting civilian objects is targeting the Yemeni people and their capabilities and reflects the entity (Israel)’s failure to achieve its goals in Yemen. The Zionist aggression will only increase the Yemenis’ steadfastness in their position supporting Gaza and the patient Palestinian people by all available means.”
According to Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV, the strikes killed at least three people and wounded 35. Sanaa International Airport began evacuating its staff Tuesday afternoon after receiving warnings of imminent strikes. Local reports also noted road closures around the airport, and a Yemenia Airlines flight from Jordan was canceled due to the situation.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Saba News agency reported that tribal gatherings in Sanaa, Dhamar, and Raymah Governorates called for “a general mobilization” against what they described as “American and Israeli aggression.
