The Yemeni Houthi group vowed to respond to Israeli airstrikes on western Yemen, Anadolu Agency reports.

The Israeli attack on Al Hudaydah “aims to exacerbate the suffering of the people and pressure Yemen to stop supporting Gaza,” Mohammed Abulsalam, the Houthi spokesman, said in a post on X.

“We affirm that this brutal aggression will only increase the determination and steadfastness of the Yemeni people and their brave armed forces, continuing and escalating their support for Gaza,” added the spokesman.
