Houthi leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi lauds the Iran-backed group’s deadly drone strike on Tel Aviv on Thursday night and vows that “Yemen is more capable than ever to deal blows to Israel.”
The semi-official Iranian news outlet Mehr News quotes al-Houthi as bragging that the “Yemeni drone attack on Tel Aviv was a major psychological blow to Israel,” in a speech delivered a day after the IDF carried out a retaliatory strike on Yemen’s Houthi-controlled Hodeida port.
“The usurping Israelis should be fearful and more concerned than ever,” he continues. “The Zionists should also know that their foolish leaders have brought them closer to growing dangers.”
The Houthi leader vows that Yemen will continue attacking Israel in solidarity with the people of Gaza for as long as the war with Hamas continues, and says it will “move to a new level of anti-Israel operations” in the immediate future.
“Attacking Yemen does not benefit the enemy,” al-Houthi adds.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
