The targeting of ships linked to Israel will continue until aid reaches the Palestinian people in Gaza, Yemen’s Houthis leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi has said in a televised speech, Reuters reports.

“Our country will continue its operations until food and medicine reach the people of Gaza,” he said.

The group’s leader added that the results of the latest US and British escalation would be counterproductive and would not affect “our will and determination”.
