Hamas chief Sinwar hails Yemeni missile strike, says it sent clear message to Israel

The head of the political bureau of Hamas resistance movement has congratulated Yemeni Armed Forces for firing a ballistic missile deep into the occupied territories, stating that the launch sent a clear message to the occupying Tel Aviv regime.

“We thank the Yemeni Ansarullah [resistance] movement for its sincere passion, rich emotions and strong willpower to fight off the Israeli oppression,” Yahya Sinwar wrote in a message addressed to Ansarullah chief Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

“The Yemeni army’s operation reaching the depth of the Zionist entity and hitting the positions of the enemy have breathed new life into Operation al-Aqsa Storm and dealt a new blow to the Tel Aviv regime's project in the region.”

The Hamas leader said the Yemeni army’s unprecedented operation bypassed all interception layers and systems of the Israeli regime.

“The Yemeni operation sent out a clear message to Israel that the schemes of containment and isolation have failed with pro-Palestine support fronts implementing a more effective and influential approach,” Sinwar said.

Yemen says hit south of Tel Aviv with new hypersonic ballistic missile

The Yemeni armed forces have struck an Israeli target near Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile after the occupying regime failed to repel the attack and intercept the long-range advanced projectile.

“The heroes of the beloved Yemeni army have improved their military capabilities. They have been able to increase the range of their missiles to reach the depth of the occupied Palestinian lands,” he noted.

The Hamas leader also saluted the Yemeni nation, stating that the people have been a staunch supporter of the Palestinians and their legitimate cause throughout history.

Weekly pro-Palestine rallies across Yemen are an obvious manifestation of the nation’s unwavering support for the Palestinian issue, he said.

“I assure you that the Resistance is doing fine. We have prepared ourselves to fight a long battle of attrition that will break the enemy's political will, just as Operation al-Aqsa Storm broke its military will.

“Our combined efforts with you and our brethren in the valiant Hezbollah resistance movement in Lebanon and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq will break this enemy and inflict defeat on it,” Sinwar said.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

So far, Israel has killed at least 41,220 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 95,400 others.
