The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, sent a condolence message to Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem following the martyrdom of senior Hezbollah commander Haitham Ali al-Tabatabai and his comrades in an Israeli strike.

In his message, Sayyed al-Houthi praised the late commander’s role in supporting resistance movements. He affirmed that the martyr “achieved important accomplishments” and contributed to defending the oppressed and standing with the just cause of the resistance.

Sayyed al-Houthi strongly condemned the Israeli attack that claimed the lives of al-Tabatabai and his fellow fighters, stating that the targeting of resistance leaders in Lebanon and the ongoing aggression on Gaza “demonstrates the deeply rooted Israeli hostility.”

Trust in Hezbollah steadfastness

He emphasized that the Israeli enemy “will not commit to any obligations or agreements, particularly as long as it enjoys American protection and support.”

Sayyed al-Houthi also reaffirmed his trust in Hezbollah’s steadfastness, asserting that the movement possesses unwavering faith, extensive experience, and a proven ability to overcome challenges. He highlighted Hezbollah’s “significant and longstanding role across the fronts of the Axis of Resistance,” noting its major contributions and sacrifices in the field.

He stressed that the correct and realistic choice lies in “responsible and conscious mobilization to confront the enemy and counter all its conspiracies,” adding that the failure of attempts aimed at subjugating the region to the Israeli enemy “will become increasingly evident to our entire nation.”

Yemen mourns martyr Tabatabai

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sanaa mourned the assassination of senior resistance leader Haitham Ali al-Tabatabai, hailing him as a martyr and commending his pivotal role in defending Lebanon and supporting the Palestinian Resistance and the Axis of Resistance as a whole.

In an official statement, the ministry asserted that the ongoing assassination policy and criminal operations reflect nothing but the failure and desperation of the Zionist entity on the battlefield, and its inherent threat to the region’s security and stability.

The statement further expressed regret over the disavowal of some Arab and Islamic regimes and the complicity of others, in addition to the international silence regarding the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation in Palestine and Lebanon.

Yemen reaffirmed its solidarity with the Lebanese people and their steadfast Resistance, emphasizing Yemen’s position within the broader struggle against Zionist aggression.
