The Yemeni Armed Forces have confirmed their intention to respond to Israeli airstrikes on the Hudaydah Governorate. They declared ‘Tel Aviv is unsafe’ and threatened to strike important Israeli facilities.
The Israeli assaults were described in full by the Yemeni Armed Forces in a statement they released on Monday night. The Hudaydah port, gasoline depots, and the power plant that provides energy to the coastal city were also civilian targets of the bombings.
The statement made clear that the Yemeni Armed Forces would continue to help Gaza as long as they follow the orders of their leadership and have the backing of the strong Yemeni people. They said they would not back down from their activities, no matter what the cost, and that they were prepared for a protracted battle until the assault stopped, the siege was removed, and the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza ceased.
The significance of taking coordinated action against Israeli aggression was underscored in the statement. It urged the country to resist the attacks on Gaza and to back the Palestinian cause. The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized that, as they have in the past, the Yemeni people, under the direction of their military and leadership, would overcome this obstacle with divine help.
Below is the full text of the Yemeni Armed Forces’ statement:
“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. God Almighty said: {So whoever attacks you, attack him in proportion to his attack on you. And fear God and know that God is with the righteous.} God Almighty is Truth.
The Israeli enemy launched a brutal aggression on Al Hudaydah Governorate, targeting the power station that supplies the coastal city of Al Hudaydah with electricity with several raids. It also targeted Al Hudaydah port and fuel tanks, all of which are civilian targets.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will respond to this blatant aggression and that, with the help of God Almighty, they will not hesitate to strike the vital targets of the Israeli enemy, while emphasizing what was stated in their previous statement regarding considering the occupied Jaffa area an unsafe area.
The Yemeni Armed Forces, under the guidance of their faithful leadership and with them all the sons of the free, proud, steadfast and struggling Yemeni people, will not stop their operations in support of our brothers in Gaza, whatever the repercussions and whatever the results, and that, with the help of God Almighty, they are preparing for a long war with this enemy until the aggression stops, the siege is lifted and all its crimes committed against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are stopped.”
The statement underscores a potential escalation in the region, with significant implications for regional stability and security.
