Mocha, NewsYemen, private:
The Houthi aggression on the port of Mocha with four missiles and three drones provoked reactions condemning the crime that affected the commercial port, weeks after it was re-worked to enhance food supplies to civilians.
The director of the Mocha Directorate, Basem Al-Zuraiqi, said that the attack came at a time when the port was receiving foodstuffs to alleviate the suffering of the people, and to return the staff and workers to work at the port.
He added, a week after our announcement and confirmation to the Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator at the United Nations, Diego Zorrilla, that the port is ready to work to receive food and humanitarian aid, even for Houthi-controlled areas, as a humanitarian aspect. Today, we find that relief and oil stores are targeted, in order to create terror and stop Port activity, food supply shutdown.
He stressed the insistence of the local authority to work with our partners from the joint forces and the national resistance under any circumstances in order to continue operating the port.
For his part, the director of the Mocha port, Abdul-Malik Al-Sharabi, described the Houthi attack on a civilian port as a criminal act aimed at disrupting its work months after repairing the damage caused by the war ignited by the Houthi militia.
The director of the Media Center for the Giants Brigades, journalist Aseel Al-Saqladi, considered the Houthi targeting of the Mocha port as evidence of his weakness on the fronts, as well as evidence of his inability to achieve a military victory.
Al-Saqladi vowed that the Houthi militia would teach it harsh lessons by the joint forces, as a result of its continuous violations and targeting of civilian objects.
In addition, the spokesman for the Zaraniq Brigades in the Joint Forces, journalist Abdullah Asili, said that the targeting of Mocha came after the Houthi militia failed to confront the heroes stationed on the western coast, especially after it received heavy losses, as well as the success of the joint forces in securing the sites on the outskirts of Al-Jarrahi and Hays and saqam.
He added that the Houthi militia, living in a state of fear and panic, prompted it to force the citizens in Al-Jarrahi to enlist and join its ranks by force, as well as to go out in a coercive march, calling on the people to confront what America and Israel called, and prevent them from entering Al-Jarahi.
For his part, journalist Ismail Al-Qadi considered that the difference between the attacks on the World Trade Towers and the attack on the Mocha port, which was re-run by the efforts of the national resistance, is twenty years.
He added, so that people know and remember that there is only one terrorism, and there is no difference between what the terrorist organizations in ISIS and Al-Qaeda and the Houthi militia practice.
On the same level, Shawqi Ibrahim considered that what happened today in the attack on the port is a reprehensible and condemned barbaric act, targeting the port and its facilities in conjunction with the entry of cargo ships.
He said that the aim is to stop the port and not operate it, citing the reason for the Houthi militia's persistence with the humiliating Stockholm Agreement.
And he called for the suspension of the work of the Sweden agreement and the mobilization of all fighting fronts, so that civilians can enjoy security and safety from the unjust militias.
For his part, Ahmed Saad, Aqal Al-Mokha, said that the Houthi militia targets innocent people and civilian sites and is not satisfied with the port’s operation.
He considered that what the Houthi militia had carried out, targeting a civilian port, was a terrorist act par excellence, which deserved punishment.
Muhammad al-Mashre’a expressed his condemnation of the militia’s targeting of the Mocha port with missiles and drones, stressing that this was due to the Stockholm Agreement, which halted the liberation of Hodeidah, and the militias’ non-compliance with the agreement sponsored by the United Nations.
