Sanaa: The tribes of Aflah Al-Sham and Aflah Al-Yemen in Hajjah province have announced their readiness and mobilization to end the aggression and siege, in response to a call by Houthi leader Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi.
According to Yemen News Agency, during an armed tribal gathering attended by tribes from Bani Haydan in Al-Mahabishah district and Bani Mahdi in Kahlan Al-Sharaf district, the participants affirmed their continued fight under the leadership's banner until the recovery of national resources.
The tribes declared full readiness to retaliate against Saudi Arabia and to make sacrifices in what they described as a battle to liberate national territory from foreign forces. They condemned Saudi strikes on Sana'a International Airport, saying the attacks targeted efforts to allow a civilian plane carrying patients, stranded people and travelers to arrive.
The statement reaffirmed support for the leadership's decisions regarding a response and called for strengthening internal unity and confronting further attacks. It also described the airport strike as a war crime and a violation of international agreements, warning that Yemen's response would exceed Saudi expectations.
The tribes expressed support for Yemen's missile, naval, air and drone forces, and renewed solidarity with Gaza, while praising Iran's stance against what they called the Saudi blockade on Yemen. They also announced the continuation of general mobilization, training programs and military preparedness activities.
