The leader of Ansarullah movement has lauded the recent achievement of the country’s armed forces as Israel fails to intercept and shoot down Yemeni missiles.

Adul-Malik al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised speech on Thursday evening, emphasizing that the failure points to the huge and significant gap in the Tel Aviv regime’s defense capabilities.

He said Yemeni forces have managed to target Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied lands multiple times, using hypersonic missiles and drones.

Yemen's operations, which are being carried out in retaliation for the Israeli genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza, are imposing a substantial economic cost on the usurping regime, he added.

“The operations have an enormous impact. They are instilling fear, anxiety and panic into the Zionist enemy, which has failed to intercept Yemeni missiles. The Israeli aviation industry has been dramatically influenced, as flights into and out of Ben Gurion Airport are halted during our operations.” 

Houthi hit out at the outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden for an $8 billion aid package for Israel that includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters alongside artillery shells, stating that "the Zionist enemy will use the ammunition to kill women and children".
