The leader of Yemen’s Houthis (Ansar Allah) vowed on August 1 that there will be a “military response” to the recent Israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
“There has to be a military response to these crimes, which are shameless and dangerous, and constitute a major escalation by the Israeli enemy,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech.
Al-Houthi further denounced the recent Israeli strike in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, that killed a senior Hezbollah commander, Fouad Shokor, labeling it a “dangerous escalation.”
Over the last nine months, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have fired from Yemen more than 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and suicide drones at Israel, mostly toward Eilat, in response to the Israeli war on Gaza, according to the Israeli military.
During the same period, the group targeted dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Six American-made combat drones were also shot down by Houthi air defenses over Yemen and nearby waters.
Last month, a deadly Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv prompted Israeli strikes on the Yemeni Red Sea port of al-Hodeida that killed nine people and triggered a massive inferno. The Houthis vowed to respond after the strikes.
Iran has already vowed to respond to the assassination of Haniyeh with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei reportedly ordering a direct strike against Israel.
According to recent reports, Tehran and its allies, including Hezbollah and the Houthis, are considering launching a joint operation against Israel. Al-Houthi’s remarks indicate that this is very possible.

. one more stupid mistake from the houthi shitfucks and israel will destroy the houthi-controlled economic hubs by twentyfold
your not the real martillo, why you hijacking another username?
change it to uncle sam pion or something like that.
where, please, did the houthi economic hubs? yemen is just as backward as israel, i would even say even more backward, although that’s almost impossible!
saudi and uae tried for a number of years to get to the houthis and to no avail and didn’t have to travel a large distance like the jews will have to do – about 2200 km requiring refueling twice for the trip out and then home. at the same time the jews are engaged in a full scale war at home and where are planes gonna come from. the jews are on their way to hell and palestine freed.
and in palestine the jews sre fighting a war they can’t win, like the talibans beat the shit out of the yanks, the palestinians and hezbollah and the iraqiresistence and iran will defeat the criminals illegally occupying palestine – from the river to the sea!
talmudistan will get their amerikunt golem to launch a ground invasion of yemen, spearheaded by transsexual team six, the 3rd heavy lesbians, and the president’s own san francisco gays taking the yemenis from the rear. after this softening up process, there will be a full scale invasion by the zio tik tok army made up exclusively of teenage zio bitches.
a concerted effort should be more than ‘very possible’, it should be very much expected. any response should be very deadly, as in massive infrastructure and strategic target rich. refineries, storage and generation should be hit with over-kill. as well, the foreign offices of support countries should be targeted as well. tel aviv should end up a smoldering pile, port of haifa a burning mass.
i love the smell of barbecued shlomo in the morning.
