The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have stated that they will engage in a long-term war with Israel. Abdullah bin Amir, Deputy Director of the Morale Guidance Department of the so-called Ministry of Defense affiliated with the Houthis, reacted to the statement from the Israeli army that “the time for the Houthis will also come.” Bin Amir, in a statement to the “26sep.net” website, said, “Israel is saying ‘Yemen’s time will come too.’ Yemenis, however, are saying ‘We will not wait until that time comes.’ With the permission of Allah, the coming days and months will be filled with victories, not defeats. This will be a long and irreversible war.” According to yesterday’s report on Israel’s state television channel KAN, the Israeli army had made a statement that “the time for the Houthis will come, but the army is currently focusing on an attack against Hezbollah.”
