Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi reaffirmed the group's support for Palestinian fighters, vowing to continue backing them until what he described as the fall of Israel, while also accusing Saudi Arabia of 'tyranny and injustice' against Yemenis. Separately, Yemeni government forces said they repelled a Houthi attack in Taiz province's al-Safa area, claiming to have killed at least eight Houthi fighters in heavy clashes. The episodes illustrate the ongoing entanglement of Yemen's internal conflict with the wider Gaza war narrative, as the Houthis continue to frame their actions as solidarity with the Palestinian cause while fighting internal rivals.
