No Halt to Attacks on Israeli-Linked Vessels: Yemeni Spokesman

IQNA – The spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarullah movement underlined that attacks on vessel owned by the Zionist regime or sailing toward occupied territories will continue.

“Our stand on the developments in Palestine and the (Israeli regime’s) attacks on the Gaza Strip has not changed,” Muhammad Abdul Salam said.

The American airstrikes on Yemen “will not change our position, either,” he stressed, Al-Maseerah reported.

“Our demand is an end to the war on Gaza and the delivery of food, medicine and other humanitarian aid to the north and south of Gaza,” he added.

Abdul Salam also said talks with the international community continues to ensure safety of navigation for vessels of all countries except those linked with the Zionist regime.

“We are not after tensions but it is the Americans and the British that have deployed warships and military forces to the region,” he went on to say.

Israel waged its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group against the occupying entity.

The US has offered untrammeled support for Israel during the onslaught that has so far killed more than 24,100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 60,834 others.

In solidarity with the Palestinians in besieged Gaza, the Yemeni armed forces have targeted ships in the Red Sea with owners linked to Israel or those going to and from ports in the occupied territories.

In response, the US has formed a military coalition against Yemeni forces in the Red Sea and endangered maritime navigation in the strategic waterway.

The US and Britain, backed by Bahrain, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands, struck more than 60 targets at almost 30 locations in Yemen on Friday, killing five people and injuring six others.
