On Friday evening, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that the Yemeni Air Force targeted the ship MEGALOPOLIS in the Arabian Sea using several drones, confirming that the objectives of the operation were achieved.
Saree explained that the targeting of the ship came after its owning company violated the decision to ban entry into the Israeli-operated ports of occupied Palestine. The ban came as a show of solidarity with, and in support of, the plight of the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
Saree also saluted the fighters in Gaza and Lebanon, stressing that the martyrdom of the great leader, head of the political bureau of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, will only make the Resistance, and all the free people in the world, more determined to continue on the path of liberation and victory.
He further emphasized that, as the Yemeni Armed Forces enter their second year of support in the battle of "Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad," they remain committed to enforcing the naval blockade on the Israeli occupation, targeting all ships linked to, heading to, or dealing with the it.
Saree reaffirmed the continuation of targeting the Israeli occupation with missiles and drones and stressed that these operations will not cease until the aggression ends, the siege on Gaza is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon stops.
Al-Houthi says Hamas to never drop banner of Resistance after Sinwar
The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, expressed his condolences to the family of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the Political Bureau of the movement, the al-Qassam Brigades, the Palestinian people, and the entire Islamic World following Sinwar's martyrdom.
In a statement on Friday evening, Sayyed al-Houthi said, "We received with deep sorrow the news of the martyrdom of our brother and fighter, Yahya Sinwar, who was martyred in the path of God, in the field of confrontation, heroism, and honor."
Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the sacrifices of the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters would never be in vain.
He further asserted that "if the Israeli enemy believes that the martyrdom of leader Sinwar will lead to the collapse of the resistance front in Gaza or the demoralization of its fighters, they are delusional."
Sayyed al-Houthi also stressed that Hamas, a movement that has been steadfast and giving since its very inception, has not faltered despite the martyrdom of its founder and several of its prominent leaders. He assured that Hamas "will never abandon the banner of resistance, leave the battlefield, or surrender."
He criticized the Israeli occupation's portrayal of assassinating Resistance leaders as an achievement, calling it a "fantasy" and a disregard for the realities on the ground.
The Yemeni leader added that the US and the Israeli occupation are working toward common goals, driven by similar ideologies, with the US seeking to enable Israeli dominance over the region, whether directly or through political and economic control.
He also pointed out that the current events in the region are not coincidental but part of a long series of developments.
