ALBAWABA - The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared, in support of the Palestinian cause, that the fourth phase of their resistance against Israeli aggression has begun. This occurs when tensions in the area are rising and there is still fighting in the Gaza sector.

The Yemeni Armed Forces, led by Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, plan to attack any ships breaking the Israeli maritime embargo and headed to occupied Palestinian ports in the Mediterranean Sea. This robust military action is a response to Israeli and American aggression and reluctance to maintain a truce.

With immediate effect, any ships linked to the provision of supplies and entry into the Palestinian ports under occupation would be subject to severe penalties by the Yemeni Armed Forces. These ships will not be allowed to sail through the area of military operations, regardless of their country.

Furthermore, the Yemeni Armed Forces are ready to step up their actions and impose wider and harsher measures until the Israeli enemy stops their military aggression in the Rafah area and lifts the siege on the oppressed Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

As Houthis said, "The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their operations until justice is served and Palestinian rights are guaranteed, with the support of the Yemeni people and regional partners." With tensions rising in the Middle East, the world is keeping an eye on Yemen's increasing support for Palestine.
