Yemen says its armed forces will definitely respond to Israel’s strikes against the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah.
“The response to the occupying Israeli regime’s aggression and its tactics are the topics which leader of the Ansarullah Resistance movement and the Yemeni army can only decide upon,” Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer, the foreign minister of the National Salvation Government, said on Monday.
“Yemen’s response in retaliation for the barbaric and vicious Israeli assault on Hudaydah will be delivered through any possible means.”
According to Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel, the July 20 Israeli attack targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in Hudaydah.
At least nine people were killed and 87 others wounded in the Israeli air raids. The attack came a day after the Yemeni military conducted a drone attack against the coastal city of Tel Aviv in the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories.
Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has pledged to respond to the attack on Hudaydah.
“This aggression will not pass without an effective response against the enemy,” it said in a statement.
