Ansar Allah Leader Warns Somaliland Officials: Israeli Presence Will Be Treated as a Military Target
Sayyid Abdul‑Malik Badr al‑Din al‑Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, issued a statement on recent developments in Somalia and Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, describing the move as an attempt to divide Somalia and destabilize African states and the Red Sea region.
Al‑Houthi stressed that the Islamic Ummah must respond to such actions, warning that negligence would allow Israeli plots to succeed.
He further cautioned that any Israeli presence in Somalia constitutes a threat to Somalia itself, Yemen, and regional security. Accordingly, he declared that Israeli forces in Somaliland or Puntland would be considered legitimate military targets for Yemen’s armed forces.
The message represents a direct and serious warning to both Somaliland authorities and Israel, signaling that in any future conflict, Israeli deployments in the region could become targets of Yemeni missile and drone strikes.
