Yemen Monitor / Sanaa / Exclusive:
Houthi leader Abdulmalik Al-Houthi on Sunday pledged to strengthen internal security and pursue traitors, in a statement mourning his prime minister and several ministers killed in last Thursday’s Israeli strike in Sanaa.
In his address, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi said:
“This firm stance will continue on all levels. The security battle is a fundamental battle, parallel to the military battle. The security agencies are exerting great effort and have achieved major and important successes in fortifying the internal front, and they will continue to do so.”
The Israeli army had announced that it assassinated all members of the Houthi government in Thursday’s airstrikes, based on precise intelligence information. Sources confirmed that the Houthi prime minister was killed alongside 10 other ministers.
In the speech broadcast by Al-Masirah TV, Al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to sign the so-called “tribal honor document,” or to declare disavowal during mass demonstrations, weekly marches, and tribal gatherings, as a show of support for the security services in their mission of fortifying the internal front against infiltration.
He added that no traitor would ever enjoy any form of protection:
“Not under political cover, nor under any other form (…) because whoever serves the Israeli enemy and its schemes, aids its crimes, and seeks to enable it to commit crimes against this people, can only be backed by another traitor — a traitor like him who tries to open the way for him.”
