Two Houthi fighters, their cheeks bulging with qat, appear in a video threatening Israel, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia - We will sell our property and our homeland to fight, one declares
Two Houthi fighters, their cheeks swollen from chewing qat, appear in a video issuing combat declarations and threats against their enemies: Saudi Arabia, Israel, the United States and Ethiopia.
"Today we have plucked the eye from the Saudi eyes, and now comes the turn of the American, after the Israeli and the Ethiopian," one of the fighters is heard saying. He continues: "By the life of Allah, not one infidel will remain."
The fighter goes on to express his willingness to sacrifice his property and homeland in the struggle against Saudi Arabia. "By the great Allah, people, I will sell my property, my honor and my homeland against Saudi Arabia," he declares, ending with calls of support for the Houthi leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
The video emerges as the confrontation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia reaches a sharp escalation. In recent days, the Houthis have launched missiles and drones at Saudi targets, including Riyadh's international airport and facilities belonging to the national oil company Aramco. The strikes caused damage, casualties were reported, and Saudi defense systems intercepted additional launches. Saudi Arabia has intensified its own strikes against Houthi-controlled targets in Yemen.
The Houthis are threatening to continue striking Saudi infrastructure and facilities. The escalation raises concerns about the conflict widening, particularly given the possibility that the United States may deepen its military involvement.
