"Israeli” Port CEO Admits Devastating Impact of Yemeni Strikes on 'Eilat' Port"

Al Mayadeen |

Gideon Golber, CEO of 'Eilat' port, reveals the grim reality of Yemeni Armed Forces' strikes in the Red Sea, leaving the port non-functional.

Golber emphasizes the crucial role of 'Eilat' as Israel's sole southern seaport for trade with the Far East and Australia, highlighting the halt in activities and massive job losses due to the Yemeni operations.

According to Golber, the closure has led to a significant drop in imported goods, affecting industries such as vehicle imports and phosphate exports.

He stresses the lack of viable alternatives and calls on Israel to take action, lamenting the irony of relying on foreign powers to secure vital trade routes.

Additionally, journalist Dimitri Lascaris corroborates the dire situation, reporting empty shores and shuttered businesses, signaling the devastating impact on tourism and the local economy.

The terrible crimes in Gaza reveal the ugliness of America and sound the alarm about the danger of its practices towards other nations.

The zionist brutality exposes the claims of the Arab normalizers who presented "israel" as a dove of peace.

The enemy failed to tighten its grip on Gaza or to eliminate the fighters and retrieve its prisoners and obtain a victory image.

The "israeli" enemy has suffered many dead, wounded, psychologically ill, mentally disordered, and those who have dodged fighting.

The enemy tries to compensate for its losses with recruitment but faces rejection from various segments of "israelis".

There are those who threaten to leave Palestine, and some choose prison instead of being drafted.

Recruitment has become a clear crisis and an internal problem for the enemy, and this is one of the results of the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their fighters.

Among what has affected the "israeli" enemy in its economic situation is the disruption of the Port of Umm Al-Rashrash, which the enemy calls "Eilat."

It has been decided by the enemy to lay off half of the workers in the port after it was completely shut down, affecting the economy.

"Israeli" media say we are in the most dangerous scandal since the establishment of the "army" and the most severe failure since the establishment of "israel."

Enemy media say the internal front is not prepared for a regional war and it will be thousands of times harder and more dangerous than the war in the Gaza Strip.

This phase is pivotal, historic, and decisive, with significant and future impacts.

In the Yemen front, operations were carried out this week with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, and drones.

One of the most significant operations this week that caused great concern to the enemy was the operation with an advanced missile which reached Umm Al-Rashrash, surpassing all American and "israeli" monitoring and interception technologies.

The advanced missile surprised the "israeli" enemy and opened a new horizon for the brothers in missile technology to develop long-range capabilities.

Our forces executed an additional new operation in the Indian Ocean this week.

479 missiles and drones have been launched since the beginning of operations.

As part of the American and British support for the "israeli" enemy, there were 31 air raids and naval bombardments on our country this week.

The total air raids and naval bombardments carried out by the American and British in support of the "israeli" enemy against our country reached 407.

With the American using its capabilities and advanced weapons, it is recognized as failing in deterring and preventing our country's operations supporting Palestine.

There is a clear and tangible development in our capabilities, and the enemy noticed it in the use of ballistic missiles for the first time in the history of targeting ships at sea.

There are bigger and more significant and impactful developments, God willing, and we leave the field first for action, then for speech.

The American and British failure is clear in their inability to protect the ships belonging to the "israeli" enemy.

The enemies have carried out significant deception operations for their ships by publishing new camouflage contracts as if they had sold those ships.

The American pretends to be bankrupt, selling its ships urgently, deceiving by raising other countries' flags and providing false information about the ships.

With all their camouflage and deception to protect their ships, the enemies are exposed and amazed at how they were discovered.

An American naval officer describes the confrontation in the Red Sea as a relentless war and the greatest challenge for the American Navy in modern history.

When American sailors say we are far from our homes, we tell them: Go back to your homes; you are the aggressors.

The American military is accustomed to comfort, and its members are spoiled, whereas our fighters are seasoned in enduring hardships and accustomed to bearing difficulties.

The food bill alone on an American ship amounts to 2 million dollars a month. The financial cost is a problem for them, and it's difficult to determine victory and defeat in this kind of conflict.

The enemies try to involve others to lessen the cost on themselves, and this is America's policy in all conflicts and aggressions.

The American says that their soldiers amuse themselves with dogs for entertainment. Birds of a feather flock together.

There is an American path that constantly moves against our country to exert economic and humanitarian pressure with the aim of stopping its operations supporting the Palestinian people.

Our dear people must be fully aware that there is a media path from the American, the "israeli", and the British side. The media path is part of their battle against our country and against the Palestinian people.

The opportunity has come, by the grace of Allah, for our dear people to take a comprehensive stance, and we only lack the issue of direct deployment of fighters due to geographical distances.

Arab countries have refused to open land corridors for the passage of our fighters and their Armed Forces in cooperation with the Palestinian people.

Overcoming American and "israeli" technologies in monitoring, jamming, and interception means a great victory and a significant development of our capabilities.

We have plans of great importance in the future, God willing, for more impactful strikes on the enemy.

Anything we can do that is lawful, we do without hesitation or worry about the enemies' threats, classifications, and campaigns.

On the military level, we continue to develop military action and operations more and more, and the options in that are more and more.

Our people have experienced for nine years the American and its mouthpieces' attempts to distract our people from the enormous crimes and severe blockade, but it collided with the rock of public consciousness.

The American position has no concern other than protecting the "israeli" crimes in Gaza and limiting any movement supporting the Palestinian people.

The American is the biggest killer and destroyer in history.

No need to comment on the "israeli" as it commits daily genocidal crimes in Palestine.

The public stance and popular activities are of very great importance along with military stances and others.

We saw faith, loyalty, manhood, dignity, and chivalry in the faces of those who went out to the squares without justifying their sitting out due to their fasting.

The stance supporting the Palestinian people is a stance that expresses every free and humane individual left with humanity in our country, and it does not pertain to a specific group.

Our people's weekly turnout amid neglect and absolute silence is a great honor and a manifestation of their faith, allegiance, and values.

I turn to our dear people and call them with the call of Allah Almighty who says: "Go forth, light and heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah. That is best for you if you but knew" and with the call of His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, who said: "Whoever wakes up and does not concern themselves with the affairs of the Muslims is not one of them, and whoever hears the caller calling 'O Muslims' and does not respond is not one of the Muslims." This call, "O Muslims, O Arabs," this call has been made to you by the honorable Al-Aqsa and those stationed in it, called to you by more than two million Muslims in the Gaza Strip.

Go out tomorrow, God willing, with the blessing of Allah, O people of loyalty, chivalry, faith, honor, steadfastness, chivalry, and manhood, go out with the blessing of Allah.

A Hamas security official told Al Jazeera :

- “There is no truth to what was published by the Hebrew media regarding the arrest of dozens of resistance leaders in Al-Shifa Hospital.”

- “What is published in the Hebrew media is inaccurate and falls within the psychological and moral war against the resistance in Gaza.”


- “The list of photos of detainees in Al-Shifa Hospital issued by the occupation army spokesman is inaccurate.”
- “A number of the pictures on the list belong to people
currently outside Gaza and other pictures are of martyrs.”


- “3 of the photos on the list belong to doctors previously released by the occupation.”
