Al Jazeera May 5, 2025 Hamas welcomes Houthis’ ‘comprehensive air blockade’ of Israel
A statement from Hamas on Telegram says the “heroic action” displays the depth of the Houthis’ commitment to defending the people of Gaza.
“Dear Yemen, with its honourable stances that reflect the authenticity of its people and the courage of its leadership, it’s restoring in this heroic battle respect for the values of brotherhood and the bonds of religion and Arabism,” it said.
The Houthis “affirmation that a free Yemen will not accept the occupation’s violation of Arab lands, particularly in Lebanon and Syria, is a responsible affirmation of our shared destiny and the necessity of unifying efforts to confront the dangerous Zionist schemes targeting the entire nation”, read the statement.
The Houthis said earlier that they will impose “a comprehensive aerial blockade” on Israel by repeatedly targeting its airports in response to Israel expanding its “aggressive” war on Gaza.
We've proven our ability to deal blows to American, British and Israeli prestige. There are no red lines in our conflict with the Zionist entity, the United States and Britain," al-Bukhaiti told Qatar's Al Araby news outlet.
"Our strike on the Ben Gurion airport is proof of our ability to hit fortified targets inside Israel," he added.
