Houthi chief Abdel Malik al-Houthi says the fact that the Yemeni group is still capable of launching missiles and drones “at sea and deep within the enemy’s territory” shows that the US has failed.

In his latest televised speech, he said the “escalation of the American aggression” on Yemen in recent days has not eliminated the group’s military capabilities, and that the Houthis do not fear being in direct conflict with the US and Israel.

“We are not like those who watch the crimes of the Israeli enemy in Gaza. Rather, we are fulfilling our responsibility before God and will continue to support the oppressed Palestinian people,” al-Houthi said, calling on other Arab countries to take action as well.

“We will not be intimidated by America. We will continue our operations, and what matters to us is that God is pleased with us and that we escape his wrath while at the same time satisfying our human conscience.”Jordan denounces Israel’s attacks on Dar al-Arqam school, Saudi warehouse
