Yemen’s Ansarullah warns of ‘decisive response’ if Israel violates Gaza ceasefire

Hizam al-Assad made the remarks in an interview with Sputnik News on Sunday, following the declaration of a ceasefire between Zionist regime and the Hamas resistance movement.

“If Israel resumes its aggression and siege of the people in Gaza, we will resume our military operations with greater intensity and scope to pressure and force it to end its crimes and aggression,” he said.

The high-ranking Ansarullah official further noted that the Yemenis would halt attacks on Zionist regime’s targets deep inside the occupied territories as well as Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea if Israel adheres to the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

However, he warned that any continuation of the blockade or assaults on Gaza would trigger a renewed and intensified response.

In light of the worsening genocidal war in Gaza that started in October 2023, Yemeni forces executed a strategic maritime blockade intended to obstruct the delivery of military resources to Israel while urging the global community to address the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Concurrently, they conducted multiple missile and drone attacks on key targets located in the Israeli-occupied regions, demonstrating their support for the Palestinians in Gaza.

Early on October 10, the office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the regime’s cabinet had approved a deal to end the war in the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire deal, put forward by US President Donald Trump, is expected to halt Israel’s hostilities as mediators push both sides to fulfill the first phase of the agreement.

Increased amounts of humanitarian aid are also expected to enter the Strip. As of Friday, about 600 aid trucks were scheduled to cross into Gaza daily.

If completed, the first phase of Trump’s 20-point plan will be followed by negotiations on the details of subsequent phases.

At least 67,806 Palestinians have been martyred and 170,066 wounded, most of them women and children, since the Zionist regime launched the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
