On Sunday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Houthi movement, described Israel’s targeting of several Houthi ministers as a “crime,” threatening Tel Aviv with a “steady and escalating” path of attacks.

Al-Houthi pointed out that all those killed in the attack were ministers working in civil fields, considering their targeting “adds to Israel’s criminal record in the region.”

He affirmed that “the great sacrifice only increases our steadfastness, resilience, and cohesion,” stressing that the group’s path in “supporting the Palestinian people” is ongoing and escalating, saying: “We will not stand as bystanders to the enemy’s crimes.”

He continued: “Our military path in targeting the Israeli enemy, whether by missiles, drones, or naval blockade, is continuous, steady, and escalating.”

He explained that his security apparatus is working on a mission to “fortify the home front against infiltration.”
