Yemen's Houthis have issued a warning to the US, cautioning against any potential military escalation on Yemen amid their commitment to continue targeting Israel-related commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, according to a statement by the Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea. The US Department of Defense announced on 18 December a multinational operation to safeguard trade and to protect ships in the Red Sea amid the recent escalation in Houthi attacks originating from Yemen. These attacks in recent weeks have prompted major shipping companies to reroute their operations and raised concerns of prolonged disruptions to global trade. Houthis vowed to attack Israeli-bound ships and prevent them from navigating in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in retaliation for Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, according to Sarea.

Bilo kakav američki napad na jemenske pobunjene hutijevce neće proći bez odgovora, rekao je čelnik skupine Abdel Malek al-Huti u četvrtak.

Al-Huti je u govoru koji je emitirala televizija rekao da će taj odgovor biti ozbiljniji od nedavnog napada u kojem je bespilotnim letjelicama i projektilima napadnut američki brod u Crvenom moru.

“Bilo kakav američki napad neće ostati bez odgovora. Reakcija će biti jača od napada izvršenog brojnim raketama i s dvadeset dronova”, kazao je.

Hutijevci, koje podupire Iran, pojačali su napade na komercijalna plovila u Crvenom moru radi prosvjeda protiv izraelskog rata u Gazi. Razne pomorske linije su obustavile prometovanje te sada plove dužom rutom oko Afrike.

“Odlučniji smo gađati brodove povezane s Izraelom i nećemo uzmaknuti”, poručio je al-Huti.
