Yemen’s Houthi movement said it will not delay its response to Israel’s strike on Hudaydah Port adding that “the coming days will be full of surprises.”

The bank of goals will be broad and comprehensive of the occupied Palestinian geography; Yemen has the upper hand and the ability to change the balance of power and achieve victory,” Houthi political bureau member, Ali Al-Qahum, said yesterday.

Last Saturday, Israeli fighter jets launched a series of air strikes on fuel storage tanks on the port of Hudaydah, and diesel tanks in the power station in the Al-Katheeb area in the city.

Ansar Allah vowed to respond to the Israeli raids by bombing vital targets in Israel, declaring Tel Aviv an unsafe area. It stressed that it is “preparing for a long war with Israel until it stops its military operations and siege of the Palestinian people.”
