The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement threatened to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea to support Palestinian movements in the Gaza Strip.
Tehran (ISNA) - Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi, leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement said " Our eyes are open to constantly monitor and search for any Israeli ship in the Red Sea, particularly in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the waters that border Yemeni waters, although Israeli ships disable devices in the Red Sea, they will not be able to hide," adding that the movement "will search for its ships and will not hesitate to attack them."
"Our attacks on the enemy with rockets and drones will continue. Our planning for additional operations will continue against all Zionist facilities that we can reach in Palestine or outside Palestine, and we will not hesitate to do so. We will spare no effort at the military level, using the available means, and our brothers in the rocket forces are conducting operations in the south of occupied Palestine," Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi said in a ceremony in Sana'a.
Earlier in the day, Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Sare'e said via an unverified account on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the movement has fired "a salvo of ballistic missiles at various targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Palestinian territories," including the city of Eilat in southern Israel.
He added that the launch came 24 hours after "another military operation" carried out by the movement "with drones on the same targets."
The spokesman also confirmed that the movement "will begin implementing the directives in terms of taking the appropriate measures against any Israeli vessel in the #RedSea" and will "not hesitate to target any Israeli vessel in the Red Sea or any place we can reach, starting from now."
He added that the movement's attacks on Israel "will not stop until [the] Israeli aggression against Palestinian people in Gaza stops."
On October 7, Palestinian movement Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip. Israel launched retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, cutting off supplies of water, food, and fuel.
At least 11,320 Palestinians have been martyred including more than 7,800 women and children, and over 29,200 others have been injured, according to the latest figures from Palestinian authorities.
Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, mosques and churches, have been damaged or destroyed in the Israeli offensive.
The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, stands at 1,200, according to official figures.
