In Yemen, the President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, affirmed that the martyrdom of the great leader, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, does not mark the end of the battle. Instead, "his pure blood will only strengthen the fighters' resolve, determination, dedication, and steadfastness to continue following the path of the martyrs."

Al-Mashat reiterated Yemen's full support for the Lebanese people in their fight for self-defense and in standing with Gaza. He extended his deepest condolences and sincere sympathies to the martyr's family, Hezbollah, its fighters, the Lebanese people, and the entire Islamic nation.

Ansarullah mourn Sayyed Safieddine

Moreover, the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement, in a separate statement, underscored that Hezbollah's pure blood was shed for the most sacred, just, and noble cause—the cause of Palestine. It emphasized that these sacrifices reflect Hezbollah's steadfastness, sincerity, and righteous stance, its clear vision, and correct direction in an era of Arab betrayal and humiliation.

The bureau also noted that the martyr, Sayyed Safieddine, dedicated his life to defending Lebanon and Palestine until his last breath.

The official spokesperson for Ansarullah, Mohammed Abdulsalam, expressed his condolences, sympathy, and deep respect to Hezbollah, the Islamic Resistance, and the martyr's family for the loss of Sayyed Safieddine.

Association of Yemeni Scholars call on Islamic nation to support Hezbollah

In turn, the Association of Yemeni Scholars stated that the martyrdom of Sayyed Safieddine and his comrades "is not surprising for those who have carried their lives in their hands and their shrouds on their shoulders, anticipating the great honor of martyrdom for the sake of God since the founding of Hezbollah," and their confrontations with the Israeli occupation.

The association affirmed that, without the steadfastness of the leaders and fighters of Hezbollah and Hamas, the Deal of the Century would have been implemented, and al-Quds declared the capital of "Israel". It called on Islamic nations to support and stand by Hezbollah and to honor the sacrifices of its martyrs.

The association also called on Arab armies, especially the Egyptian and Jordanian forces, to rise in defense of the Palestinian people and mobilize for Gaza. It stressed the need to fulfill jihadist responsibilities and unite against "the primary enemy of the Islamic nation and humanity."

It further urged the people, scholars, and preachers to provide moral support and to publicly and sincerely stand with the leaders of the Resistance Axis, raising awareness of the gravity of this phase and the dangers of betrayal and inaction.

Similarly, the Joint Meeting Parties stated that the martyr Sayyed Safieddine followed the path of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, the martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, earning the honor of martyrdom in support of the Palestinian cause and in defense of Lebanon and its people against the most heinous enemy humanity has ever known.

They added that the martyrdom of Sayyed Safieddine will further ignite the fire of Resistance, strengthen the resolve of the fighters, bring the hour of victory closer, and hasten the enemy’s demise.
