Yemen says assassination of Iran’s veteran military advisor indicates Israel's desperation
Yemen’s ruling Houthi Ansarullah movement says the Israeli regime’s assassination of a top Iranian military advisor in Syria is a sign of the regime’s desperation in the face of setbacks in has suffered from regional resistance forces amid the conflict in Palestine.
The political bureau of the Ansarullah movement issued a statement on Tuesday to offer condolences to the Iranian people and leadership on the martyrdom a day earlier of Seyyed Razi Mousavi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) who had been serving in Syria on an advisory mission over the past years.
It condemned Mousavi’s assassination in a missile attack by Israel near Damascus, saying the move was in line with crimes committed by the Zionist regime and the United States against nations of Palestine, Iraq, Syria and other countries.
“This martyr was one of the warriors of resistance who had spent his life fighting the regional project of the US and the Zionist regime,” said the statement.
It said the assassination is a sign of Israeli regime’s defeat and desperation in the face of painful blows it has received from resistance forces in the region.
The Houthis have launched missile and drone attacks on targets in the occupied Palestine since Israel launched aggression on Gaza in early October.
The Yemenis have also seized and hit ships linked to the Israeli regime sailing in the Red Sea and in the surrounding waters as a show of support for the Palestinians.
The attacks have been part of a broader campaign by resistance groups in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon to target Israeli and US interests in the region to force them to end the aggression on Gaza.
