A large tribal gathering was held Thursday in Al-Salif district of Al-Hodeidah province to declare mass mobilization in the face of what participants described as hostile plots, and to prepare for the next phase of confrontation with the “U.S.-Israeli enemy.”

Participants—led by local authorities, mobilization officials, and prominent social figures—raised Yemeni and Palestinian flags, chanting slogans of readiness and general mobilization. 

They affirmed that the Yemeni people would remain a steadfast force against what they called global hegemonic powers targeting the country’s security and stability.

The gathering also praised the resilience of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, and welcomed what were described as deterrent operations by the “Axis of Resistance” and Iran, saying they had shifted the balance of power and exposed the fragility of an army once portrayed as invincible.

Speakers said attempts to destabilize the internal front through espionage networks had failed in the face of security vigilance and growing public awareness, describing these developments as a key pillar in strengthening resilience in what they called the “Promised Victory and Sacred Jihad” battle.

A statement issued at the event renewed full authorization for leader Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi to take all strategic decisions in support of national sovereignty and broader causes, while calling for continued mobilization and reinforcement of training camps under the “Al-Aqsa Flood” programs to maintain full combat readiness for the next stage.
