Press TV – Feb 23, 2024
Yemen’s armed forces have introduced the “submarine weapon” in their operations which they are carrying out in the Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians, Ansarullah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says.
“We introduced the submarine weapon into the confrontation in the Red Sea, and it is a weapon that worries the enemy,” he said in a televised speech on Thursday.
Yemeni forces have launched repeated drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait and Gulf of Aden since November in support of Palestinians.
They say the operations will continue unless Israel stops its war on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has killed almost 30,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
So far, 183 missiles and drones have been launched against Israeli targets in the occupied territories, al-Houthi said. In the Red and Arab Seas, 48 ships have been targeted.
“Thirteen specific operations were carried out in recent days, the most prominent of which was sinking the British ship and shooting down the American drone,” he added.
The US on Tuesday confirmed that an MQ-9 Reaper drone was downed in Yemen. In November, the Pentagon acknowledged the loss of an MQ-9, worth about $30 million, which was also shot down by Yemen over the Red Sea.
Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said the drone was shot down on Monday off the coast of areas near the Red Sea.
“Initial indications are that it was shot down by a Houthi surface-to-air missile,” she told reporters, referring to Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters who are at the spearhead of operations against Israeli and Israeli-bound vessels.
The group has added US and British assets to its list of targets since the two countries began targeting Yemen from the air and sea in support of Israel’s war on Gaza.
President Joe Biden last month acknowledged the strikes were not having a deterrent effect against the Yemeni’s army’s launch of missiles and drones.
Al-Houthi said Thursday, “Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective.”
“The available missiles have been developed to the point that the Americans are unable to intercept or shoot them down, despite the technology they possess,” he added.
On Monday, Yemeni forces targeted Britain’s Rubymar cargo vessel in the Gulf of Aden. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the crew was safe but that the ship was badly damaged and at risk of sinking.
Al-Houthi said, “We do not practice any blackmail against ships passing through the Red and Arab Seas on the condition that they are not heading to [Israel].”
He said the scale of the worsening humanitarian tragedy in Gaza increases the burden of responsibility on Arabs and Muslims to take serious action.
“The wealthy Arab countries are wasting hundreds of billions on trivial matters and fueling strife, and do not even provide minimal food to the Palestinian people,” al-Houthi added.
Some have suggested that the Saudi leadership are actually crypto jews/Donmeh…..and also the hosts of the last world cup.(this would explain the ridiculous amount of money paid to David Beckheim +/- £10,000,000.The Beckheims are very definitely crypto jews who also provide evidence that they can be very dumb indeed.The daughter of the billionaire who married Beckheim Jr is also thick as a plank.
The opportunity for the Zio-British empire to insert crypto jews was there….just like the Windsorsteins
Not just the Gaza attack by the IDF, but such operations as the Hooties are carrying out, should continue until Israel is finished.
I’ve been listening to some respected pundits who aren’t ex US deep state, and they make some very good points. So many working Israelis aren’t at work, so the Isreali economy is tanking, and Israelis are fleeing the country in huge numbers, and as they point out, THEY AREN’T COMING BACK!
Then we have the tourists, well, there aren’t any. The Red Sea port of Eilat, a major tourist destination is deserted, and the tourists may never return.
We have corporation breaking business partnerships, and increasing boycotts on Israeli trade.
Then you have the fact, Israel can’t win. They can’t beat Hamas, or Hezbollah, and the war could widen quite a bit, with even Turkey, and Iran becoming directly involved, even if they don’t want to. Even Egypt has its own red lines. A Joo leader can’t stop a country who wants action.
There’s no other way to put it. Israel is destroying itself, and it’s going to escalate, but even if it ceased operations right now, the mess which would emerge from Gaza, would equally finish off Israel.
On so many fronts, Israel is a dead state. Many years ago, I said Israel was on borrowed time. It appears they don’t want any extra time. It’s over, and Nazi Amerika, and Nazi Britain are very damaged, especially by attacking Yemen, which is a war crime, another war crime in their support of Joo genocide in Gaza.

Not just Saudi Arabia, but every ‘Arab/Muslim’ nation is governed by Donmeh.
It’s a wonder the US isn’t bleating about this because they haven’t quite grasped the rules just yet, that when you start a war on someone you don’t get to decide where the other side gets its weapons from nor which weapons it can and cannot use.
Oh! A new super-weapon from the Arabs that we invented who-knows-when. What was 20,000 leagues Under the Sea about again?
