He said in his first speech on Sunday since the Israeli attacks that “the Israeli enemy, with its crimes and savagery, does not spare even children, women, and defenceless civilians,” according to Houthi media.
The Israeli enemy in the area’s criminal history is “adjusted to the crime of targeting ministers and civilian officials.”
According to a statement released on Saturday, the Houthis’ government’s prime minister, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi, was killed in an Israeli attack on Sanaa on Thursday along with “several” other ministers.
At a workshop, Al-Rahawi, who served as prime minister in the country’s divided regions, was targeted along with other Houthi-led government members, according to the statement.
According to Al-Houthi, “the Israeli enemy’s history is one of horrific terror” because it murders civilians in Palestinian-held areas like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. He referred to Israel as “a criminal foe that uses practices that have no laws, commitments, charters, and no considerations to demonstrate its savagery, criminality, and aggression.”
In solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinians, the Houthi commander declared that the organization would continue to act against Israel in support of the Gaza war, adding that “our people will not be weakened by the aggression they are facing.”
In recent months, Israel has repeatedly attacked Houthi positions as a result of Yemen’s attacks on Israeli and Western vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli army attacked the entire Houthi cabinet on Thursday, including the prime minister and 12 other ministers, in a report quoting unnamed sources.
According to health officials, the attack occurred four days after Israeli attacks on the Yemeni capital on August 24. The attack resulted in the deaths of 10 people and more than 90 injuries.
Houthi office raids
At least one UN employee was detained in Yemen’s capital on Sunday as a glaring attempt to tighten security following Israel’s attacks across Sanaa.
Without providing further information, UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) spokesperson Ammar Ammar reported to the Associated Press that there was “an ongoing situation” involving their Sanaa offices.
The UN official claimed that several other World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF employees had lost contacts and that they were likely also being held hostage.
Security forces also raided the organizations’ offices in the Houthi-controlled capital on Sunday morning, according to Abeer Etefa, a WFP spokesperson, according to the Associated Press.
According to Etefa, “WFP reiterates that the arbitrary detention of humanitarian staff is unacceptable.”
The latest Houthi crackdown against the UN and other international organizations operating in Yemen’s rebel-held areas is the most recent.
Difficulty numbers of UN employees have been taken into custody, as well as individuals connected to aid organizations, civil society, and the now-closed US Embassy in Sanaa.
