Sanaa, July 23 (RHC)-- A senior Yemeni official has cautioned that retaliation for the recent deadly airstrike on al-Hudaydah will not be postponed and that Israel must be prepared for unexpected  events in the coming days.

Ali al-Qahoum, a top official of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, in a statement on Tuesday said that the response to the Israeli attacks that targeted the Hudaydah port last Saturday will not be delayed, according to Sputnik news agency.

“The coming days will be full of surprises," al-Qahoum, a member of Ansarullah’s political bureau said, adding that the “targets will span a wide range within occupied Palestine.  He praised his country "as a key player" that shifts the balance of power and secures victory.

Over the weekend, al-Qahoum had warned Israel that Yemen’s “inevitable, strong and crushing” response “will be an earthquake for the aggressors.”  He also advised Israelis not to rejoice too much, as there is no escape for punishment.

“Your choices will be either migration and return to where you came from or staying in shelters. American and British protection will not help you, and the hand that violates Yemen’s sovereignty and attacks its resources and people will be cut off,” he warned.

Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi says Yemen is more capable than ever to deal blows to Israel, following the occupying regime’s airstrikes against Hudaydah a day earlier.

Additionally, on Tuesday, the Ansarullah resistance movement declared that decisive and deadly measures will be taken against the Zionist regime, which will target the military and security installations deep in the occupied territories of Palestine.

Hezam al-Asad, a member of the political bureau of Ansarullah, announced that Yemeni forces have advanced to the fifth phase of their operation, warning that rising civilian casualties will result in attacks on the strategic targets of the Israeli regime.

He added: "The Zionist enemy has opened the gates of hell by targeting Yemen's Hudaydah port, and that the ports, military and security centers deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories will be under the fire of the Yemeni army."

Al-Asad also said, “Certain Arab countries have crossed the red lines by supporting the Zionist enemy by opening land corridors instead of the Red Sea and opening their airspace and calling the Hamas movement terrorist. We warn them that their answer is on the way.”  He gave a clear message to Israel that any attack on civilians will be met with retaliation.

“Yemen's response to the Zionist regime's offense at Hudaydah port will be different ... an unprecedented response that will make the aggressors regret their actions,” he added.

Moreover, al-Assad in a post on the X social network warned of a crushing and painful blow to the Israeli regime, which he said will be coming soon. He used the Qur'anic verse, saying, “Soon, we will witness a day when the sky will be melted like metal.”

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement vows that the country’s Armed Forces will ramp up their anti-Israeli strikes after the Tel Aviv regime’s latest massacre in the Gaza Strip.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes targeted buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in Hudaydah, killing at least six people and leaving 83 injured, many of them with severe burns.

The aggression came a day after the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a drone strike on an area near a US consular facility in Tel Aviv in response to the Israeli genocide in Gaza, killing one person and injuring 10 others as the Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the drone.

Yemeni officials have repeatedly announced that they won’t stop their attacks until Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 39,006 people and wounded another 89,818 individuals, come to an end.
