The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, stated that the Yemeni people are ready to participate in the bombing of Israel if the United States intervenes and targets the Palestinians militarily.
The leader of the Yemeni group said on Tuesday that the decision to launch ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ operation is entirely a Palestinian decision, which has fully surprised the enemy, in reference to Israel.
The head of the Yemen Al-Houthi movement declared that Houthis will strike Israel if the US gets directly involved in conflict.
In a speech on the latest developments, al-Houthi stressed that the Yemeni people are ready to do everything they can to “perform their sacred duty to stand by the Palestinian people.”
He continued:
“Our people are ready to move in hundreds of thousands and join the Palestinian people to confront the enemy, and we will not hesitate to do everything possible.”
He also stressed that there are “red lines’ in the situation related to Gaza and coordination between the ‘axis of resistance’ is in full operation.
“We are in coordination with the axis of resistance, and if the Americans intervened militarily directly, we are ready to participate even with rocket shelling.”
Al-Houthi added that it is imperative to provide all support to the Palestinians and that his nation will not watch while Western countries help the “criminal enemy.”
Israel’s nightmare scenario seems to be actualizing. After days of bombarding Gaza, killing 830 Palestinians and counting, Palestinian and Lebanese resistances responded in a perfectly coordinated attack.
In the meantime, several ‘security situations’ were reported inside Israel, going as far as reaching the government’s compound in Jerusalem.

Earlier, Al-Qassam Brigades called on the people of Asqalan to leave the city before 5 PM, Palestine time.
Immediately following the first volley of rockets, Al-Qassam Brigades issued a statement saying that they hit Asqalan with hundreds of rockets in response to the random and ceaseless bombing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the forcing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to leave their homes.
As the rockets were falling on Asqalan, Palestinian fighters engaged with Israeli soldiers in the southern parts of the city, indicating that the Palestinian Resistance still has a military presence inside Israel.
Earlier, the Israeli military claimed that it had eliminated all Palestinian fighters inside Israel who had entered in the early hours of Saturday, October 7. This does not seem to be the case.

In a separate tweet, the ministry said that “the root of the conflict, namely the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel, must be resolved, in accordance with the parameters agreed upon by the UN”.
Thousands of people are killed and wounded throughout Palestine and southern Israel, while Israeli war, and ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ operation escalate. Indiscriminate Israeli bombings continue, as Netanyahu calls on Palestinians to leave, and his government shuts down electricity, water. Meanwhile, the powerful Lebanese Resistance group, Hezbollah entered the battle ..

The United States, France, Germany, and Italy issued a joint statement on Monday expressing “unequivocal condemnation” of Hamas and “steadfast and united support” for Israel.
The statement was reportedly released after a call between US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
“We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned,” the statement read. “There is never any justification for terrorism.
“Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.”
The statement mentioned the “legitimate aspirations” of the Palestinian people, saying that “Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.”
Meanwhile, the US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that he ordered the moving of naval ships to the Eastern Mediterranean, closer to Israel.

In a chilling video interview with Fox News, US Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has called on Americans to support Israel while telling the Israeli leader to ‘finish off’ Palestinians.
“This should be personal for every woman and man in America,” Haley said in the interview, which she posted on her social media channels.
“Why?”, she added, “because when (Palestinians) did this, when they made this surprise attack, when they took these hostages, when they murdered these families, they were celebrating.”
“And what were they celebrating?” Haley asked, before answering herself, “They were saying ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America.’ This is not just an attack on Israel. This is an attack on America.”
We need to “(make) sure our enemies do not hurt our friends.”
“America can never be so arrogant to think we don’t need friends, just like we needed them on 911,” she said.
“I say this to Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them. Hamas did this. You know Iran is behind it. Finish them.”
‘Call for Genocide’
Palestinian author and journalist, Ramzy Baroud has described Haley’s comments as “an outright call for genocide.”
“Haley epitomizes the stereotypical politician, who would not mind igniting wars to rise to the top,” he said, and “here she smells an opportunity to rally rightwing extremists in the US behind her, purely for political reasons.”
“But to call on Netanyahu to carry out blatant genocide against Palestinians in the besieged, impoverished and most crowded region in the world, is horrific beyond belief,” he added.
“This matter must be pursued immediately by legal action by civil society groups to ensure that such genocidal calls are not repeated, neither by her nor any other US fanatics.”
The Israeli military has announced the death of the deputy commander of the 300th Infantry Brigades during the “thwarting of an infiltration from Lebanon” on Monday.
Earlier, Israel’s Channel 12 had reported that six Israeli soldiers were wounded in an armed attack in the border area in southern Lebanon.
The attack was claimed by the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli military had then announced that one of the six wounded soldiers was in a serious condition.
The Israeli army claimed that fighters had infiltrated across the border from the Lebanese side, saying its forces had killed two of them, while a third fled back to Lebanon.
The military media of Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, broadcast a clip showing one its members inside a house in a settlement in the Gaza Strip.
The video showed an elderly Israeli woman lying on bed, unable to move, and a young girl sitting right next to her.
The Palestinian fighters were careful not to approach the two women.
Speaking to the camera, one of the fighters said that they had entered the occupied Palestinian territories which was “desecrated by the enemy”, describing it as a day they had been eagerly waiting for years.
He said that we eliminated all of their fighters, in reference to Israeli soldiers, but they will follow the commands of Prophet Mohammed, by not hurting women or children:
“We are here carrying out the commandment of the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Mohammed), may God bless him and grant him peace, we – the mujahideen Muslims – do not kill a woman, an elderly woman, a child, an elderly man or a worshipper in his hermitage, today we killed warriors and protected women and children.”
While inhumanity is being perpetrated against the Palestinian people by terrorists, who kill innocent children and women in front of the entire world, the #Qassam groups treat their unarmed prisoners with utmost respect, demonstrating the true and genuine ethics of all Muslims. pic.twitter.com/61ulJ12cbc
The clip received wide interaction on social media platforms.
While many praised the fighters for not harming women and children, others drew contrast between the treatment of Israeli women and a recent episode of five Palestinian women being stripped naked and humiliated by Israeli soldiers in Hebron.
Medical services in Gaza are on the verge of collapse, and entire families are still trapped, dead or wounded under the rubble. This is the latest..
The Palestinian Ministry of Health expressed “deep concern” about the continuation of the Israeli escalation in Gaza and the “direct attacks on medical facilities and innocent civilians.”
In a statement issued on Monday, a copy of which was received by the Palestine Chronicle, the Ministry said that “the emergency plan has been deployed” so that “all health facilities are functioning to respond to those who are injured by Israeli aggression”.
According to the statement, citing data from the Palestinian Health Information Center (PHIC), “there have been 687 killed, including 140 children, and 105 women, while 3726 were injured, 10% of the injuries were children.”
#UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres: We have reports of Israeli targeting of health facilities, residential towers and mosques in #Gaza.
Since the beginning of the ongoing escalation, Israeli airstrikes have carried out massacres against 13 families. Most of the family members are still under the rubble, according to Palestine Chronicle sources in Gaza.
“Before October 7, Gaza suffered from severe shortages of critical medications, disposable medical equipment, and fuel due to the Israeli blockade,” the Ministry said, adding that “the Israeli aggression has further worsened this situation.”
“There continues to be a lack of electricity to operate the health care system. This threatens the lives of all sick and injured people.”
According to the statement, “seven hospitals and health centers were targeted, and direct damage was caused in large parts of them”.
The Beit Hanoun Hospital, which is the only one in the city, was put “out of service due to the repeated targeting in the hospital vicinity, which led to the suspension of its services,” the statement said.
Moreover, “the Israeli occupation deliberately targeted ambulances, as the occupation targeted 11 ambulances and one of the health services vehicles destroyed, and put them out of service.”
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza called on the international community to “support the emergency need for vital medicines, disposable medical products, fuel, and high-capacity generators, in the face of the ongoing lack of electricity and medical shortage.”

A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women on October 7. But two leading Palestinian media organizations, The Palestine Chronicle and Friends of Palestine Network, conducted a joint investigation, the outcome of which resulted in the ‘The Black Dress’, a groundbreaking 18-minute documentary looking into allegations and the possible falsification of evidence.
