Houthi Official Says Fighting Will Continue
(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - The Houthis have overcome the vast distance between Yemen and Israel to launch advanced ballistic missiles and wage a naval blockade in the Red Sea that has paralyzed Israel's southern port of Eilat and severely disrupted global shipping through the Suez Canal. The motivation behind their campaign is puzzling, given the heavy toll they've paid from Israeli airstrikes. Yet they appear undeterred, fighting a war they cannot win. A senior Houthi figure revealed to Ynet the depth of the movement's indoctrination and hatred that helps explain their continued aggression. He said, "We believe Israel's existence is illegitimate. Its end is a divine certainty. Israel is a criminal entity planted at the heart of the [Muslim] nation." "We will prevail. We want Israel erased and Al-Aqsa Mosque purified. Our slogan, 'Death to America, death to Israel,' is not just a slogan - it's a way of life, from the beginning of the Quran until we liberate Jerusalem."
