Houthi leader warns Israel to halt Gaza onslaught

A senior Houthi official has issued a scathing rebuke of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza, warning that its advanced defence systems are incapable of shielding it from the consequences of its actions.

The Deputy Chairman of the Media Authority of the Ansar Allah group, commonly referred to as the Houthis, condemned Israel’s military campaign, calling for an immediate end to the violence.

“The Zionist enemy must realise that all its defence systems cannot protect it,” the official declared, emphasising that Israel’s current strategy would fail to ensure its security. He urged Israel to “move towards what is more useful, which is stopping the aggression on Gaza.”

Earlier on Friday the Israeli military has shot down a missile fired from Yemen as it entered Israeli airspace. The missile was in retaliation to Israeli strikes in Yemen and it's ogoing war in Gaza.
