Hamas praises Yemen’s relentless support for Gaza

Hamas yesterday praised the Yemeni people for their “honourable stance and direct support” for the people in Gaza.

Abu Obeida, the spokesman of Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, said the honourable fighters in Yemen continue to support the defenceless people trapped in the Israeli regime forces’ genocidal war against the Gaza Strip “despite the heavy price they are paying for their loyalty to Al-Aqsa and Palestine”.

“Today, Yemen’s missiles intersected with those from Gaza in the skies above Tel Aviv,” he said after the Yemenis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv yesterday.

“The Yemenis’ attack on Tel Aviv proves once more that Gaza is not alone, and that behind it are the free men of the nation who will not surrender it to their arrogant enemies,” he added.

He called on all free people of the Arab and Islamic nations “to engage in the battle to defend Al-Aqsa and to continue their support for Gaza, to break the back of the criminal zionist enemy and force it to halt its aggression.”

Earlier Thursday, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched missiles on Tel Aviv, in response to Israel’s massacres of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and surrounding cities and towns yesterday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Yemen Houthi group announced striking Ben Gurion Airport in Israel with two hypersonic ballistic missiles and a US aircraft carrier in the Red Sea.

As of yesterday night, Houthi sources reported dozens of US air strikes across Yemen, killing 53 people and injuring more than 100 others, including women and children.

The Houthis have been targeting Israeli-linked ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab El-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones since late 2023, disrupting global trade in what the group says is a show of solidarity with the Gaza Strip.​​​​​​​
