The ceasefire agreement in Gaza is a victory for Palestine and for the fighters of the Resistance factions, particularly Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, who led Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Supreme Political Council in Yemen stressed on Sunday.

In a statement, the Supreme Political Council said Yemen will closely monitor the Israeli occupation's commitment to implementing the agreement, which entered into effect this morning.

The statement added that the Yemeni Armed Forces will remain on alert, prepared, and ready to act should any developments happen, continuing their role in supporting the Palestinian people in every possible way.

The Supreme Political Council also praised the role of the YAF and the Yemeni people, who have continuously supported and relentlessly stood by Palestine.

It also hailed the heroic and top-tier operations carried out by all the support and Resistance fronts in Lebanon and Iraq, acknowledging their role in the battle despite the heavy sacrifices.

"We commend the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting and backing the Palestinian people's efforts to liberate and free themselves from occupation," the statement added.

On Saturday, the YAF warned hostile forces in the Red Sea against launching an aggression on Yemen during the ceasefire period in Gaza.

YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stressed that any aggression on Yemen will be responded to by top-tier military operations restricted by "no ceiling or red lines."

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza came into effect on Sunday at 08:30 local time (06:30 UTC), reigniting hope for an end to the aggression and the genocidal war that "Israel" has waged on the Gaza Strip for the past 15 months. The war has resulted in tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded, missing, and detained, while millions of Palestinians have been displaced.

Shortly after the ceasefire took effect on Sunday, the Israeli occupation military began violating the agreement, killing and injuring several Palestinians.
