News - Yemen: Major General Yousef al-Madani, Chief of Staff of the Yemeni Armed Forces, sent an official message to the leadership of the al-Qassam Brigades on Sunday, expressing gratitude for their condolences on the death of Yemen’s former Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammed Abdulkarim al-Ghumari. 

He reaffirmed Yemen’s commitment to ongoing support and joint struggle with the brigades, emphasizing the strong religious and jihadist bonds between the two sides in confronting the Zionist enemy and its aggressive projects.

Opening his message, Major General al-Madani praised al-Qassam’s condolences as “words fragrant with loyalty and sincerity,” reflecting the deep spiritual and operational ties between the two forces. 

He highlighted that these bonds are rooted in “a unity of purpose and destiny in facing the Zionist enemy and its aggressive schemes.”

The message commended the steadfastness of al-Qassam Brigades, describing it as “the greatest example of Islamic resilience” and “living proof of the strength of Islam and the value of jihad.” 

Al-Madani emphasized that the brigades have defeated “the strongest empires of money, arms, and technology with the weapon of faith.”

He noted that the steadfastness of the fighters stunned the world and forced enemies into negotiations, undermining their illusions of total control and elimination.

Al-Madani’s message included a clear and firm commitment regarding any renewed aggression by the Israeli enemy on Gaza: “We remain true to our pledge and promise to stand with you, share your joy in victory, and console you in moments of loss, whatever the sacrifices required.”

Concluding his message, Major General al-Madani confirmed that Yemeni Forces are closely monitoring developments, declaring that “if the Israeli enemy resumes its aggression on Gaza, we will resume our military operations deep inside the Zionist entity” and warned that “Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea will be blocked again should the aggression continue.”

Amid repeated violations of ceasefires by the Israeli enemy in Gaza, Yemen has issued a firm warning of renewed military operations and maritime blockades. 

The announcement follows arrests of spies linked to a Saudi-based enemy operations network, highlighting Yemen’s resolve to confront the Zionist entity, support Gaza, and defend regional security and strategic waterways.
