News - Yemen: Strategic military expert and researcher Ali Hamieh stated that the world is currently witnessing a global alliance of terror that supports the Zionist entity in its ongoing aggression against Gaza and targets anyone who stands with the Palestinian people in the region.

Hamieh highlighted the pivotal role of Yemen, describing it as one of the few Arab nations that chose to confront this alliance. He noted that Yemen began its active support for Gaza nearly twenty months ago through steady escalation and direct confrontation.

He explained: “Yemeni operations began with the seizure of ships, then progressed to naval landings, and later to direct targeting—either through precision strikes or warning operations. Today, we are witnessing a significant development with the sinking of the Magic Seas and Eternity C—two commercial vessels sailing through the Red Sea under flags such as Greece and Liberia to conceal their true affiliations and evade detection.”

Hamieh added that Yemen has demonstrated exceptional intelligence capabilities by accurately identifying these ships and their contents, even using maritime communication protocols to issue formal warnings. This level of precision reflects a high degree of operational and intelligence expertise.

He emphasized that shipping companies are now in a state of confusion and unable to continue their covert operations supporting the Zionist entity, especially in light of Yemen’s increasing use of advanced weaponry in its strikes.

Hamieh confirmed that Yemen is committed to continuing its escalation, and it is capable of sustaining these operations as long as it retains intelligence superiority and the ability to conceal its movements from the Zionist enemy and its Western backers—particularly the American and British forces stationed in the Red Sea.

“Yemen is adding a new strategic dimension to the confrontation,” he said, “by economically choking the Zionist entity—disrupting maritime traffic bound for ports like Haifa and Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), and targeting strategic infrastructure such as airports. This is tightening both economic and military pressure on the enemy.”

Hamieh also addressed the ideological aspect of the conflict, noting that the Zionist entity attempts to justify its existence through so-called “biblical prophecies,” while Yemen and the wider Axis of Resistance are waging a counter-ideological battle that exposes the falsehood of these narratives.

“We are engaged in a battle of values and faith—our belief is in either victory or martyrdom,” he stated.

Regarding the situation in Lebanon, Hamieh noted that the Zionist entity has announced a limited ground operation in the south that may escalate. However, he downplayed its potential effectiveness, citing the full readiness of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.

He affirmed that the Resistance has already given diplomacy ample time through its commitment to UN Resolution 1701, despite the Zionist regime violating it over 4,000 times without facing any meaningful consequences from the Lebanese state.

He also dismissed Israeli threats to invoke the “Hannibal Protocol,” deploy “Jid’an vehicles,” or activate the so-called “Samson Option,” calling them psychological tactics intended to pressure the Resistance into unfavorable negotiations.

“Such threats will not work on the Axis of Resistance, which cannot be coerced into concessions it does not intend to make,” he said.

In conclusion, Hamieh asserted that the Zionist entity is no longer what it once was prior to the war. It has suffered major strategic setbacks—particularly after Iran’s direct response—and is now resorting to psychological warfare to project an illusion of control, while in reality, the opposite is true.
