Yemen's Response to Saudi Military Escalation

In the face of a broad Saudi military escalation waged by

the enemy through its mobilizations on several fronts.

The Yemeni people do not wait for a green light from any foreign capital

or international organization to defend

their homeland by attacking their invaders and their military buildups.

The Yemeni armed forces do not wait for weapons from

an external funder or equipment from a regional supporter,

or shipments of ammunition from a controlling power or guardian,

to rush to the battlefield in defense of the land’s sovereignty and the people’s dignity

and the sanctities of the homeland.

Dear, noble Yemen does not stand idly by before

Saudi aggression mobilizations, waiting for a cable from an embassy

or a decree from a kingdom or a signal to begin liberation from

an external operations room.

With domestically manufactured weapons and a nationally willed decision,

with the courage of the Prophet’s supporters and the ingenuity of the message’s supporters,

with a faith-based identity and Quranic culture

and combat ethics,

with a legitimate, rightful, just cause, and a grievance

whose human suffering has surpassed every other grievance,

Yemen rolls up its sleeves for liberation and unsheathes the sword of independence

And sovereignty, takes to the field to defend sanctities

and rights, and to defend the faith, fate and existence.

On a number of fronts, the heroes of our armed forces

of faithful mujahideen continue punishing the enemy, striking

his mobilizations, pursuing him wherever he advances and hides,

chasing him wherever he camouflages himself and hides,

preying on him wherever he thinks he is safe from death,

and pelting him wherever the Saudi officer has deployed him.

The targets on the ground vary between manpower and equipment,

strikes are directed at every gathering and retreat, and punishment

is focused on every deployment, concentration, and fortification.

The tactical targets are numerous, including preemptive ones to thwart

an advance, and engagement ones to scatter the ranks,

and damaging ones to bring down, wear down, and distract.

The map of operations is either on the border or inland,

and the terrain of the strikes is sandy or rocky, coastal

or desert, plateau or mountainous.

With unmatched effectiveness against personnel or

a vehicle, armored vehicle, or tank, with extreme precision

in aiming, targeting, and hitting, ongoing

Operations targeting Saudi reinforcements on every front,

Barrages of fire raining down on the invaders and their reinforcements,

So that informers and invaders may taste the woes of an oppressed people defending

its land, so that the besieging oppressor may swallow the bitterness of

a country fighting to reclaim its legitimate,

self-evident right to its demands, its rightful share of its blessings

and resources, and its aspirations.
