AhlulBayt News Agency: The Yemeni army has announced a new ban on Israel, responding to the regime’s escalation of aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Monday, the Yemeni Armed Forces declared that the decision was made in response to Israel’s continued siege of Gaza, the starvation of the Palestinian people, and the refusal to halt its attacks.
The statement emphasized: “The Yemeni Armed Forces, relying on Allah and trusting in Allah, have decided, with Allah's help, to implement the leadership's directives to begin working to enforce a naval blockade of the port of Haifa.”
The military further warned: “All companies with ships present in or heading to this port are hereby notified that, as of the time of this announcement, the aforementioned port has been included in the target bank.”
Shipping companies were urged to consider the contents of this statement and any future announcements.
The Yemeni military noted that its forces had already succeeded in imposing a blockade on the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), effectively bringing it to a standstill.
The statement reaffirmed that the Yemeni forces will not hesitate to take additional measures in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their resistance.
The Yemeni military stressed that Yemen’s anti-Israel measures will cease once the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.
“All measures and decisions of the armed forces related to the Israeli enemy, including support operations and the ban on air and sea navigation, will cease once the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted,” the statement added.
Earlier, a senior Yemeni official warned international commercial airlines against resuming flights to Ben Gurion International Airport in the Israeli-occupied territories, as retaliatory operations by Yemen continue.
The official, speaking to Lebanon's Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news network, advised air transport companies seeking to restore routes to Israel to change their destinations and heed the warnings from the Yemeni army.
The source emphasized that the Yemeni military remains committed to enforcing an aerial blockade on Israeli-occupied lands, not just targeting Ben Gurion airport.
He also reaffirmed that the Yemeni Armed Forces and the nation are not deterred by psychological warfare or threats, maintaining their resolve despite external pressure.
A day earlier, Yemeni Deputy Minister of Information Nasruddin Amer warned that Yemen’s armed forces would carry out military strikes targeting Ben Gurion Airport and other airports across Israeli-occupied territories in the coming hours.
As the genocidal war on Gaza escalates, Yemen has enacted a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, aiming to obstruct military supplies to Israel and urge international action regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared that they will continue their assaults until Israel ceases its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza
