The equation of ports with ports evaporated before the Zionists

Our Writers| 5 August, 2024 - 7:46 PM

In the past two months, Al-Houthi has threatened ports with ports, confronting Saudi Arabia, an airport with an airport, a bank with a bank, and other threats that he was directing to Saudi Arabia, to achieve his ambitions to dominate the Yemeni people, through the threats directed at Riyadh.

At the height of the Houthi threats against Saudi Arabia, and before that against Yemeni ports, the Houthis received a devastating strike in the main port of Hodeidah, which is controlled by the Houthis, launched by the Zionists, on the twentieth of last July. The Zionist attack destroyed fuel stores and several cranes in the port. Some estimates indicate that losses from the strike could reach $100 million, or more, in value of the fuel that was stored there, and that number does not include the costs of rebuilding those tanks.

The Houthi position on that strike was insulting and humiliating to them and their supporters: According to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s statement, the strike was a show, and ineffective, according to his claim. The Houthi response in this way to the strike constituted a way out of stabilizing the port-to-port equation that was buzzing with day and night. A clear mockery of what Al-Houthi said was the fifth stage of escalation against the occupation.

More than two weeks have passed since that strike, the fires of which continued for more than a week, and the Houthi inability to extinguish it was clear, and dozens were killed and injured, and what is more: there is no Houthi talk about a response.

Al-Houthi has not yet responded to that attack, and an interesting question actually arises: Why do the Zionists not respond to Al-Houthi by targeting ships heading to the ports of Hodeidah, as Al-Houthi does with ships heading, according to his claim, to the port of Eilat, if the two sides claim that they are in a real and decisive confrontation? The answer is owned by both parties themselves.

On the other hand, the threatening and menacing Houthi position, as in the past two months, as well as the destructive Houthi position against Yemeni ports such as Aden, Al-Nashima, and Al-Dabbah, reveal that it does not hesitate to bomb those facilities without warnings, and Al-Houthi himself bragged after an attack launched by his criminals in late 2022 that the precise strike destroyed the export platform, he said. Al-Houthi is proud of the accuracy of the criminal strike: We destroyed Al-Bazbouz.” The cost of maintaining that platform is estimated at more than $55 million, according to some estimates.

The possible explanation for the phenomenon of Houthi arrogance before the Yemenis and its humiliation before the Zionists is that it is an organization created by Iran to destroy Yemen, and then using it to confront the Arab region on the island, if it is able to tighten control over Yemen. The second explanation is what the Zionists said in their media, that Al-Houthi did not face any resistance or objection from anyone to his naval attacks over the past months, according to Zionist reports, and therefore he was moving in a safe environment, from the response.

Even if Al-Houthi responded to these attacks, if it was not on the same level as the Zionist attack on the port of Hodeidah, then it is similar to, or does not deviate from, the nature of the Iranian responses to the attacks it is subjected to and humiliating in its own backyard, such as the assassination of Haniyeh, and before that the devastating raid on Qassem Soleimani, and in Lastly, Trump revealed that the Iranians notified him that they wanted to launch 18 missiles at a military base that they requested to evacuate and made a pledge that they would not hit anyone, to deceive its people.

Al-Houthi is moving in the same direction, while trying to suppress the people and tighten control over them through repression, force, and claims of resistance to the occupation. He employs such crude propaganda to claim a heroism from which he is far from the eyes of the sun.
