Houthi official: 'America has abandoned' Israel

In response to Friday's Israeli air strikes on two Yemeni ports, the media office for the Houthis issued a statement calling the attack "weak", and a signal that "America has abandoned" Israel.

"Israel confirms today that it is weak and that America has abandoned it, and we will confront any aggression that attempts to halt our support for Gaza," the statement said.

"We will work to increase escalation as long as the aggression against our people in Gaza continues. The major Israeli threats are worthless, and the enemy is incapable of carrying them out."
