Head of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Houthi stressed Thursday that over a month of ground aggression on southern Lebanon has revealed the tremendous resilience of the Lebanese Resistance, contrary to the enemy’s expectation of an easy conquest.
In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi maintained that the Israeli enemy is shocked by the resilience of Hezbollah fighters and has suffered significant losses and repeated defeats.
“The Israeli enemy, in its ground aggression on Lebanon, is defeated in every aspect, suffering around a thousand casualties, though they keep this concealed.”
Houthi added that, despite heavy firepower, the Israeli enemy has clearly failed to achieve any field breakthroughs in its ground aggression on Lebanon, noting that the enemy finds itself in a genuine dilemma in its ground assault on Lebanon.
The enemy attempted to modify its tactics f used in the July 2006 aggression by using infiltration forces and few armored vehicles, but failed, he stressed.
Any tactic the Israeli enemy employs in the ground aggression on Lebanon results in significant losses and ends in failure, he added.
“The ground battle in southern Lebanon presents a true opportunity, as the enemy relied on air force to kill from a distance and then flee.”
Houthi maintained that the operation targeting the criminal Netanyahu in his bedroom was impactful and effective, adding tha Hezbollah’s operations have forced millions of occupying Zionists to spend most of their time in shelters, living in fear and terror without enjoying a normal life.
“The Leader congratulated Sheikh Naim Qassem upon his appointment as Secretary-General of Hezbollah, describing him as a distinguished leader and one of the party’s prominent founders. We in Yemen stand by Sheikh Naim Qassem, alongside our brothers in Hezbollah and the Lebanese people, with all that we can.”
“The increasing performance of our dear brothers, the fighters in Iraq, is noticeable, bringing pride and posing a significant threat to the Israeli enemy,” Houthi said.
Yemen’s operations at sea to target ships linked to the “Israeli,” American, and British enemies continue, with limited movement in the Red Sea, he added.
In continuation of the support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and resistance against the Israeli oppression, and retaliation to the American-British aggression against Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out three military operations as part of the continuation of imposing a naval blockade on the Israeli enemy.
“The targeting of four ships this week was highly significant, and we are working to increase pressure, tracking them to the far east of the Arabian Sea and into the Indian Ocean, God willing. For the first time, Israeli enemy interests have been targeted this way in the Red Sea and Bab El-Mandab over an extended period of more than a year.”
Despite their frustration, the Americans are trying to stop the maritime operations through their continuous aggression, Houthi noted.
“The Americans carry out weekly airstrikes and maintain political and economic pressure on our country. The Americans consistently attempt to involve others, particularly the Saudi-Emirati coalition, in escalation to serve the Israeli enemy’s interests.”
We continuously monitor American activity against our country and nation, and we are always preparing for any level of escalation, he stressed.
The Saudis and others know that their involvement in Yemen and direct alliance with the Americans to support the “Israeli” enemy would bring disgrace and shame, Houthi affirmed.
No one will be able to halt our operations until the aggression is stopped, the siege on Gaza is lifted, and the assault on Lebanon ends, Houthi confirmed.
“The Security Council is a council for the security of the oppressors, not for the weak and oppressed. The so-called courts of justice and criminal courts have done nothing for our nation.”
Organizations and institutions claimed to represent our nation have, in reality, caused more harm to our people and forces than they have to the enemy, Sayyed Houthi stressed.
