News - Yemen: The Minister of Defense Major General Mohammed Al-Atifi affirmed that the response of the Yemeni Armed Forces to the American aggression against Naval Forces personnel would be severe and capable, targeting their vulnerabilities and inflicting pain through combat methods beyond their military calculations and expectations.

During a meeting with the leadership of the Fifth Military Region and military experts, Minister Al-Atafi stated, "Let it be known to the Americans, British, and French that we won't tolerate injustice. We are a resilient people and will stand for reckless actions against us. Whoever challenges us will face the consequences."

He stressed the necessity for Yemeni Armed Forces, especially in the Fifth Military Region, to comprehend the current military situation aligned with religious, national, and humanitarian principles. This position supports Gaza's steadfastness and requires complete readiness for both offensive and defensive actions in an impending critical battle against the American-Zionist adversary.

Al-Atifi highlighted Yemen's resilience during nine years of aggression, revealing the fragility of the aggressors in contrast to the people's strength and determination, which set the stage for an imminent victory. He underscored Yemen's independent and determined course, free from external influence.

The Defense Minister emphasized the advanced combat doctrine of the Yemeni Armed Forces, aimed at achieving tactical victories and dominating adversaries on land, sea, and air. He stressed the significance of specialized military training to enhance Yemen's combat capability and professionalism.

Discussing the military strategy and objectives, Al-Atifi mentioned distant and immediate goals for robust and effective engagement. He addressed battle management, anticipated outcomes, and the implementation of necessary measures.

"The American and Zionist enemy believed that the international arena had been emptied of any influence and that they were capable of committing heinous crimes and massacres against the children and women of Gaza without anyone to say 'enough'," he said.

Major General Al-Atifi further stated, "the leader Sayyed Abdulmalik has foiled all the enemies' bets and their hostile and conspiratorial agendas. He has disrupted the calculations of the Zionist entity and issued firm orders to launch strong strikes against the usurping Zionist entity, whether through missiles and drones or by chasing Zionist ships and cooperating vessels seeking to reach the occupied Palestinian ports."

Al-Atifi criticized international laws, accusing the U.S., Britain, and France of manipulating these laws to serve their agendas. He condemned the international community and human rights organizations for their double standards regarding Gaza's plight.

In conclusion, the Defense Minister warned the Zionists and their supporters, stating that the Red Sea now poses a trap for them. He affirmed that the blockade will persist until they halt their siege and crimes against Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Youssef Al-Madani, the commander of the Fifth Military Region, explained that the main assessments and essential amendments to the combat doctrine of the Yemeni army aim to strengthen and secure the defense policy of the Republic of Yemen.

The leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi has called upon the Yemeni people to participate in massive demonstrations and marches on Friday, particularly in Sana'a's Seventy Square.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the leader pointed out that the US-Zionist alliance committed a foolish act by targeting the naval heroes treacherously and aggressively. He reiterated that this criminal attack will not go unanswered and unpunished.

Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that the million-person march of Yemeni people will be a tribute to the blood of the martyrs of the naval forces who were killed in the US attack. 

He affirmed that this massive gathering will declare to the whole world that Yemeni people do not retreat from their faith-based stance and do not surrender to the arrogant.
