Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi says the Yemeni group has launched more missiles in the past five months than it did during the whole of its eight-year war with the Saudi-led coalition.
He dedicated a televised speech lasting more than 80 minutes to Gaza and Palestinians, and said the Houthi military’s “unprecedented” use of anti-ship missiles and drones shows the importance of the Palestinian cause. The Houthis have been using these weapons to attack commercial and military ships in the Red Sea in sympathy with Palestinians in Gaza.
The Houthi chief also pointed out that Yemenis are coming out in protest each week in large numbers, more frequently and fervently than during Yemen’s war – which started after the group overthrew Yemen’s internationally recognised government in late 2014.
“We seek to offer more to Palestine than we have given to ourselves, our country, and our people,” he said, calling on “millions” more Yemenis to take to the streets on Friday.
