The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against Yemen, which targeted civilian and service facilities in Sanaa and Hodeidah.

In a statement, Hamas said the aggression on Yemen represents "a dangerous escalation and an extension of the aggression against our Palestinian people, Syria, and the broader Arab region."

"The Israeli enemy will not break Yemen's resilience or deter them from their principled stance in supporting our Palestinian people until the aggression on Gaza ceases," the group stressed.

Hamas also expressed full solidarity with Yemen and the Ansar Allah movement in confronting the Israeli, American, and British aggression, calling on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to condemn the aggression on Yemen and take measures and decisions to curb the Israeli actions.

Abu Obeida

In a related context, Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, commended the missile attack carried out by the Yemeni forces, which targeted the heart of the Israeli occupation entity, saluting the group's "steadfast support for Gaza."

Abu Obeida urged the Yemeni group "to escalate their attacks" until the Israeli occupation entity halts its genocide in Gaza.

Palestinian Resistance Committees

On their part, the Palestinian Resistance Committees condemned what they described as "the savage Zionist aggression" against the Yemeni people, considering it an attack on all components of the Arab and Islamic Ummah.

The Resistance Committees stated that the aggression on Yemen "reflects the growing arrogance and tyranny of the Zionist entity, escalating its terrorism against all elements of the Ummah."

According to the statement, this aggression is "evidence of the Zionist-American enemy's significant failure to break the will" of the Yemeni people and their leadership, as the Yemeni Armed forces continue striking deep within the Israeli occupation entity with missiles in support of the Palestinian people.

The Resistance Committees reaffirmed their solidarity with the Yemeni people and their leadership in confronting the Israeli aggression, which they said was "an extension of the aggression against Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria."

They pointed out that the Israeli escalation would not have occurred without international silence and the support and sponsorship of the US administration and Western governments, which embolden "Israel" to persist in its aggression without deterrence.

PIJ

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement also condemned the aggression on Sanaa and Hodeidah, adding that the arrogance and oppression inflicted upon the region, from Palestine to Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, reaffirm that the Israeli occupation entity poses a true danger to the Ummah.

Al-Quds Brigades

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the PIJ, commended the blessed missile strike by the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, which boldly and courageously struck the heart of Tel Aviv, causing significant destruction and demonstrating the resolute strength of Yemen's fighters in confronting the Zionist enemy.

"Once again, the Yemeni resistance sets an example for the entire Arab and Islamic nations, showing that goodness will never be absent, and that the Palestinian people are not alone despite the challenges in the region," the statement further read. 

The al-Quds Brigades addressed their Ansar Allah brothers, saluting unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and extending their deepest respect and greetings from the Palestinian resistance and all resistance factions.

Hezbollah

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah also issued a statement, primarily denouncing the Israeli-American aggression on Yemen's civilian infrastructure and facilities, condemning the attack as a blatant violation of all international law charters.

Hezbollah considered the attack a continuation of the Israeli brutality and an expansion of the open war launched against the Islamic nation and Arab region.

The statement further asserted that the aggression came amid the enemy's failure in achieving any strategic goals against the Axis of Resistance across all fronts, as well as its failure to confront or stop the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations, which exposed the Israeli regime's fragile security establishment. 

Hezbollah called on the free nations and Resistance movements to unite in the face of this ongoing aggression against their people, affirming that the Israeli enemy "is a cancer that threatens the entire nation, and it will only be stopped by further steadfastness and resistance."

Hezbollah reaffirmed its full solidarity with the brotherly Yemeni people and expressed its unwavering confidence that this resilient and courageous people, under their wise and brave leadership, will continue the path of steadfastness and resistance to repel the aggression.

Iran

Following suit, Esmaeil Baghaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, strongly condemned the Israeli assaults on Yemeni infrastructure as a flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.

Baghaei stressed that Israeli crimes are being committed with the full support of the United States, which he accused of being complicit in Tel Aviv's lawlessness.

The spokesperson commended the Yemeni people's solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people and urged the international community and the Islamic world to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities to put an end to Israeli aggression and hold "Israel" accountable.
