The Yemeni Armed Forces observe the developments of the battle in the Gaza Strip, of the ongoing Israeli-American aggression and serious preparations to carry out an aggressive military operation against the Rafah area, as well as the deal presented to the resistance in which the enemy wants to extract the cabtives card without a permanent ceasefire.

Accordingly;

In implementation of the instructions of Commander Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, may Allah protect him, and in triumphing for the oppression of the Palestinian people, and in response to the calls of the Palestinian people, and with the intransigence of the Israeli and American enemy, the Yemeni armed forces announce the beginning of the implementation of the fourth stage of escalation, as follows:

First, the targeting of all ships that violate the ban decision of Israeli navigation and that heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea in any reachable area within our ample zone.

Second, implementation of thi
s comes into effect immediately and from the moment this statement is announced.

Third: If the Israeli enemy intends to launch an aggressive military operation against Rafah, the Yemeni Armed forces will impose comprehensive sanctions on all ships and companies that are related to supplying and entering the occupied Palestinian ports of any nationality and will prevent all ships of these companies from passing through the armed forces’ operation zone, regardless of their destination.

The Yemeni armed forces, based on the support of the beloved Yemeni people and all the free people of the nation, will not hesitate to prepare for broader and stronger stages of escalation until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
