Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has vowed response to Israel’s July strikes targeting the oil facilities and power plant in the port city of Hudaydah.

“The response to the occupying Israeli regime’s aggression and its tactics are the topics which leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement [Abdul-Malik al-Houthi] and the Yemeni army can only decide upon,” Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer, the foreign minister in the National Salvation Government, said on Monday.
 
“Yemen’s response in retaliation for the barbaric and vicious Israeli assault on Hudaydah will be delivered through any possible means.”
 
At least nine people were killed and 87 others wounded in the Israeli air raids targeting Yemen’s port city of Hudaydah on July 20. The attack came a day after the Yemeni military conducted a drone attack against the coastal city of Tel Aviv in the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories.
 
Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has pledged to respond to the attack on Hudaydah saying in a statement, “This aggression will not pass without an effective response against the enemy”.
 
Elsewhere in his remarks on Monday, the top Yemeni diplomat stated that the US military had to withdraw its naval fleets from the Red Sea in light of Yemeni maritime operations, saying the Pentagon is looking for alternative options in order to hold sway in the region.
 
“Americans’ fear and anxiety were strongly evident from the very first moment they engaged themselves in a conflict with Yemeni forces.” 
 
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
 
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
