Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah Sayyed Abdul Malik Al-Houthi vowed on Sunday to escalate attacks on the Zionist entity following the assassination of Prime Minister Ahmad Al-Rahawi and other ministers in Sana’a on Thursday.
In a televised address on Sunday, Sayyed Al-Houthi said assassination of Al-Rahawi and other ministers was yet another entry “in the criminal record” of the Israeli regime.
“The Israeli enemy, with its crimes and savagery, does not spare even children, women, and defenseless civilians,” stated the leader of the revolutionary group.

He vowed that Yemen would not be intimidated by the attacks on its sovereignty and would instead intensify its campaign of attacks in support of Palestinians.
“Our people will not be weakened by the aggression they are facing,” he said, pledging that “the coming days will see additional success… in thwarting the Israeli enemy’s attempts to commit crimes against our dear people or to target official institutions and cities.”
He pledged a stepped-up campaign against the Zionist entity, stressing that missiles, drones, and a naval blockade are measures that would “remain steady and escalating.”
Sayyed Houthi stressed, meanwhile, that sacrifices should be regarded as offerings in defense of Palestine rather than losses.
Ansarullah announced in a statement on Saturday that Al-Rahawi and some members of his cabinet were martyred in an Israeli airstrike, which also left a number of other ministers wounded.

Since October 2023, Yemen’s Armed Forces have carried out dozens of drone and missile strikes against Israel, declaring the operations acts of solidarity with Gaza.
The revolutionary forces vowed to keep up pro-Gaza strikes despite the Israeli bombardment of Yemen’s infrastructure and civilian areas in recent weeks.
