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 Zionist enemy will inevitably face the consequences for the crimes it has committed.
The statement also detailed the operations conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces in support of Palestine throughout the two years of the Israeli war on Gaza.
Major General Youssef Hassan Hassan al-Madani will succeed the martyred Chief of Staff, according to a presidential decree.
