Senior Houthi official Hizam al-Asad threatened on X platform that 'the Zionist-American attack on Al-Hodeidah port and the cement factory in Bajil is a despicable crime that will not go unanswered.' According to him, 'The blood of civilians and workers will fuel a harsh and resounding Yemeni response. We will continue to support Gaza with faith and determination, strike deep within enemy territory and disrupt its movement until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted. The response will be soon, painful and surprising.'
