The Chief of Staff of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Major General Yousef al-Madani, paid tribute to the late Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, who was martyred while defending the Arab and Islamic nation against Israeli aggression.

Speaking from Sanaa, al-Madani reaffirmed Yemen's unwavering faith-based and humanitarian stance in supporting Gaza. “Our commitment to the Palestinian cause is rooted in belief and principle. We will remain alongside Gaza until victory is achieved,” he said.

Al-Madani praised al-Ghamari’s role in what he described as "the holiest battle against the Zionist enemy," calling his martyrdom “a symbol of selfless sacrifice in the nation's struggle for Jerusalem and Palestine.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced the martyrdom of its Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, in a televised statement published on Thursday.

The statement said that the YAF Chief of Staff was martyred along with his companions, as well as his 13-year-old son Hussein, emphasizing that Major General al-Ghamari was killed while performing his duty in supporting Palestine.

"It is a source of pride and a solace to the nation in its grief that the Quranic path is blessed with great leaders, such as the Martyr and his companions in jihad and responsibility. These are steadfast and sincere mujahideen, leaders who continue the journey with a spirit of faith and struggle, guided by Quranic awareness, profound knowledge, accumulated expertise, and broad experience," the statement said.

It further highlighted that despite this, military operations have not ceased. The barrage of rockets and drones has not faltered, and the military apparatus has remained entirely unaffected. In fact, it has continued at the same pace, striking the criminal enemy with even greater intensity and devastation. The rounds of conflict with the enemy are far from over, and the Israeli enemy will inevitably face the consequences for the crimes it has committed.
