A general mobilization is being carried out in northern Yemen to send soldiers to the Gaza Strip if such an opportunity arises, member of the political office of Yemen's Ansar Allah rebel movement, also known as the Houthis, Houtham Assad said on Wednesday.
"As for the general mobilization in support of our people in the Gaza Strip, it was launched in all provinces, training camps were opened, tens of thousands of young people volunteered to study military craft, several groups have already graduated in various provinces of Yemen," the official said.
The people are being called upon to support our people in Gaza, who are being "subjected to genocide by the Israeli occupation army with the support of the United States" the official said, adding that if the conditions are right then they will take part in military operations in the Gaza Strip.
He added that the mobilization is underway in support of the people in Gaza "subjected to genocide by the Israeli occupation army with the support of the United States," noting that when conditions are right, the soldiers will partake in military operations in the Gaza Strip.
The Yemeni Armed Forces, in response to the Israeli aggression on Gaza, have successfully launched over 70 drones and ballistic missiles toward "Israel". The IOF conveyed this information in a statement, highlighting that the targeted distance exceeds 1,600 km from Yemen.

If US attacks Yemen, its battleships will be struck: Sayyed al-Houthi
The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, warned the United States of America against attacking Yemen, stressing that American battleships and vessels would become a target for Yemeni missiles in the event of any attack.
In a speech he delivered today, Wednesday, the Yemeni Resistance leader Sayyed al-Houthi said, "If the United States is considering targeting Yemen, we will not stand idly by," adding that engaging in a direct war with the US and “Israel" and not with America's proxies is the thing they aspire for the most.
Ansar Allah's leader called on the Arab countries not to get involved with the United States.
In this context, he stressed that “if America wants to fight Yemen’s stance in support of Palestine, then it would have to confront the entire Yemeni people,” adding that “if that is what America wants, then it will face a harsher situation than that it faced in Afghanistan and Vietnam.”
Sayyed al-Houthi warned Washington against launching any strikes because that would render it completely involved, stressing that Yemen has developed its capabilities in several areas.
The US move seeks militarization of Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Bab al-Mandab
Ansar Allah leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, reassured European companies, saying, “European vessels that do not have Israeli occupation ports as their destination are not at risk.”
Regarding the military US navigation in the Red Sea, he called it “illegal” and “a reckless and foolish aggression that only serves Israel,” stressing, however, that “European countries that are complicit in the US move are risking their interests.”
Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the Yemeni people decided not to yield to the United States and not to back down from their religious and moral stance in terms of all the ongoing events in the Red and Arabian seas, as well as the Gulf of Aden. He added that this Yemeni stance is effective and influential and has dealt heavy blows to the Israeli enemy.
He stressed that the Yemeni Naval Forces’ only target in the Red Sea is Israeli ships and “Israel”-bound vessels because the Yemeni actions are never meant to undermine international navigation. Rather, the only target is to support the oppressed Palestinian people, he added.
On the US-led coalition in the Red Sea, Sayyed al-Houthi announced that its actual goal is not to protect international navigation; rather, it only aims to implicate countries in protecting Israeli ships, in pursuit of militarizing the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and Bab al-Mandab.
In this context, he called on the countries overlooking the coast of the Red Sea to condemn the American move because it violates their rights, stressing that America turning the Red Sea into a battlefield is detrimental to all countries.
Sayyed al-Houthi praised the Malaysian decision to bar Israeli shipping companies from any activity in Malaysian ports.
Region countries, including Arab ones, to ‘Israel’s’ rescue from Yemeni missiles
On the issue of intercepting Yemeni missiles launched at the Israeli occupation entity in rejection of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that four countries in the region, including Arab ones, are involved in this.
"We were patient despite the interceptions of our missiles from Arab countries, and we are only after the Zionist enemy," he stressed, adding that "Yemen seeks to develop military capabilities to overcome all obstacles and to meet the people's demands and their position in support of Palestine."
The leader of Ansar Allah explained, "The United States and its allies justify their support for the Israeli enemy in its crimes, yet they denounce our rightful position in support of Palestine."
He also pointed out that the position of the Yemeni people is right, honorable, and consistent with their responsibility in terms of faith and morals, adding that Yemen is not ashamed of its position against the aggression on Gaza and in support of Palestine.
Sayyed al-Houthi to the people of Gaza: You are not alone
Addressing the people of the Gaza Strip, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said, “You are not alone, and our Yemeni people are by your side to the fullest extent and will never hesitate to support you.”
“The Axis of Resistance is [also] at your side, and the peoples of the world are voicing their opposition to the oppression you are subjected to,” he added.
Sayyed al-Houthi further told them, “Have faith that Allah shall grant you victory after your patience, steadfastness, and oppression,” adding that the most important thing that the world must strive for “is to stop the aggression on Gaza.”
He also stressed that the Israeli occupation has openly dealt with hospitals in the Gaza Strip as declared military targets, adding that the Israeli enemy boasts about its crimes and aggression targeting civilians.
In this context, he stressed that the Israeli enemy resorts to targeting civilians whenever it fails on the battlefield.
Sayyed al-Houthi explained that the United States has been partaking in the Israeli enemy’s aggression from day one, and the proof of that is that the enemy is killing children and women in Palestine with US weapons, including those that are internationally prohibited.
According to Ansar Allah's leader, the Israeli lobby manipulates the United States and directs it to support "Israel" even if that is against Washington's interests.
He continued that the United States has opened its bases and weapons depots in the region for the Israeli enemy to use, adding that Washington objects to every ceasefire decision in the Gaza Strip and insists on the continuation of the massacres.
Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out that the Western countries allied with Washington have their own dark history and criminal record against peoples, adding that it is the responsibility of the Islamic and Arab worlds to stand sincerely in support of the Palestinian people.
Regarding the stances of some Arab countries toward what is happening in occupied Palestine, Ansar Allah's leader said they do not sever their relations with Western countries for trivial reasons, adding that the positions of some Arab countries have gone as far as conspiring against Palestine.
"We do not expect the United States and European countries to uphold a positive position or play a constructive role toward Palestine," he affirmed, adding that "the position of the Axis of Resistance goes as far as offering military support for Palestine."
In a report under the title "A $2M missile vs. a $2,000 drone: Pentagon worried over cost of Houthi attacks," Politico reported the concern within the Pentagon regarding the cost imposed by the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea.
It highlighted that the Pentagon has deployed a substantial arsenal to the area, with two carrier strike groups, the Gerald R. Ford stationed in the eastern Mediterranean and the Dwight D. Eisenhower positioned in the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, at least four destroyers and a cruiser are currently conducting patrols close to the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Yemen asked the countries geographically separating it from Palestine to open border for Jihad
Regarding the summits that were held for Palestine and the aggression on Gaza, especially that held in Saudi Arabia, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said the position of the Arab and Islamic countries was weak.
He also criticized the silence of the scholars regarding the atrocities unfolding in Palestine and the Gaza Strip, especially those who issued Fatwas for Jihad in Syria, Iraq, or Yemen, wondering where they are today from all that is taking place and what could possibly justify their silence.
Feeling the responsibility incumbent on them both in terms of faith and the need for Jihad, the Yemeni people chose to offer and do their utmost in support of the Palestinian people, according to Sayyed al-Houthi.
The Yemeni Resistance leader revealed that Yemen had submitted a clear and open request to the countries geographically separating Yemen and Palestine to open the borders for the Yemenis to engage in the freedom fight in Palestine, adding: “Test our credibility and open the roads of jihad to occupied Palestine, and you will see.”
Just earlier, a member of the political office of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Houtham Assad, told Sputnik that northern Yemen is carrying out general mobilization to deploy soldiers to Gaza if there is such an opportunity.
"As for the general mobilization in support of our people in the Gaza Strip, it was launched in all provinces, training camps were opened, tens of thousands of young people volunteered to study military craft, several groups have already graduated in various provinces of Yemen," the official stated.
On the political and media support for the Palestinian cause, Sayyed al-Houthi indicated that Yemen’s position is clear in this regard and supports it to the fullest extent, calling for a comparison between the Yemeni media, on the one hand, and the Saudi and Emirati media, on the other, to ascertain who clearly supports Palestine.
Regarding the people’s reaction in Yemen in support of Palestine, Sayyed al-Houthi described it as “unparalleled in the region and the world,” adding that “the consensus of the Yemeni people in support of Palestine exceeds their consensus regarding their own issues.”
He said that support for Palestine is prevalent across Yemen, and even in the occupied governorates under the control of the coalition of aggression, noting that some stances by some mercenaries do not, in any way, represent the unified Yemeni people over Palestine.
Sayyed al-Houthi concluded by saying that what the Yemeni people are demanding for the sake of Palestine is a lot more than what is currently done, stressing that “we seek to employ our utmost capabilities in support of the Palestinian people.”
