abolitionmedia<p><strong>Ben-Gvir’s Mass Al-Aqsa Incursion is a “Declaration of War”</strong></p><p></p> Palestinian resistance factions issued condemnations following the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who led over three thousand settlers in a provocative incursion under heavy guard by occupation forces. The factions universally decried the event, which included depicting an alleged temple, as a dangerous escalation and a systematic crime aimed at the complete Judaization of Al-Quds. The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine described the incursion as a “dangerous desecration” and a methodical escalation in the ongoing war against Palestinian holy sites. They stated that the ultimate goal is to impose full zionist control, divide the mosque, and pave the way for its eventual destruction. The movement condemned the “Arab silence” while these crimes unfold. It held the zionist government and its partners in the U.S. administration fully responsible for the consequences, warning silent Arab regimes that the “zionist danger” will eventually target them if they continue to abandon their religious and moral duty to Palestine. The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine labeled Ben-Gvir a “fascist terrorist criminal” and the incursion a message of contempt for all Muslims and Arabs. The PRC asserted that this act, combined with the “Arab and Islamic silence on the genocide in Gaza,” has emboldened the occupation to desecrate holy sites. The Committees declared that such assaults prove the “only language the zionists understand is the language of resistance” and warned that continued attacks on Al-Aqsa will “ignite a religious war, the first to be burned by its fire will be the extremist zionists.” They called for a general mobilization across the nation and urged Palestinians in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the ’48 territories to “set the earth on fire” under the invaders’ feet. Hamas characterized the mass storming as an “escalating crime” and a deliberate provocation against Muslims worldwide. The movement noted that the incursion, timed for a Jewish holiday, was preceded by the emptying of the mosque of its Muslim worshippers. Hamas stated that the zionist government’s simultaneous genocide and its terror in the West Bank “pours oil on the fire in the region.” It warned that this criminal behavior threatens regional and international peace and security, demanding a serious response from the UN to hold the extremist government accountable. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine described the act as “pouring more fire on an explosive barrel” and a clear translation of Israel’s “racist, fascist ideology,” directly sponsored by the United States. The PFLP warned that the occupation is attempting to move beyond plans for a “temporal and spatial division” of the mosque towards imposing complete control as part of a systematic Judaization project. It stressed that the Palestinian people will not stand idly by and that the necessary response must be an escalation of “all forms of resistance, foremost of which is armed resistance.” The Front called for an “open confrontation” with the occupation and its settlers. The Mujahideen Movement expressed its “disgust at the Arab and Islamic silence” in the face of this “new disregard for the feelings of two billion Muslims.” The movement stated that the attack reveals the grave danger facing Al-Aqsa under the “extremist right-wing zionist government” and its plans to erase the site’s Islamic and Arab identity. It also highlighted recent calls by Ben-Gvir to displace Gaza’s population as further proof of the government’s criminal nature, which operates under an “unjust American cover.” The movement called on the Muslim world to pressure the “normalizing regimes” that maintain ties with the criminal entity. The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their drone unit had carried out three precision military operations targeting sites belonging to the occupation, using three unmanned aerial vehicles. In a statement issued on Sunday, Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that two of the strikes targeted military installations in Yafa and Askalan, while the third struck the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine. <p>According to Saree, the operations were launched in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, and in direct response to the ongoing genocide and starvation campaign being waged by the Israeli occupation against Gaza. The attacks also come in retaliation for repeated incursions by settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the desecration of its sacred grounds.</p><p>“Yemen, its loyal people, faithful leadership, and resisting army, will not abandon its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward the Palestinian people, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and Gaza, which continues to suffer under a brutal siege and relentless aggression,” Saree said.</p> <p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20708" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20708</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-mosque/" target="_blank">#alAqsaMosque</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pflp/" target="_blank">#pflp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pij/" target="_blank">#pij</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-bank/" target="_blank">#westBank</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>With Gaza as its Compass, Yemen Rewrites the Rules of Naval Warfare</strong></p><p></p> <p>After the Ansarallah-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that it would <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/yemen-reimposes-red-sea-blockade-on-israeli-shipping-as-gaza-truce-deal-falters" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">resume</a> attacks on merchant ships linked to companies operating with Israeli ports, tensions in the Red Sea and beyond have reignited, as Tel Aviv’s ongoing genocide in Gaza fuels instability across West Asia.</p><p>As part of the <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/yemen-announces-phase-four-of-maritime-blockade-against-israel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">fourth phase</a> of the blockade, the Yemeni army sank two commercial vessels earlier this month, showcasing not only its enduring capabilities but also the failure of <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/over-20-warplanes-bomb-yemen-in-three-way-attack-by-israel-us-uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">US-led strikes</a> to curb its maritime campaign.</p><p>On 6 May, US President Donald Trump <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/trump-waves-white-flag-ends-yemen-war-in-omani-mediated-truce" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">claimed</a>, “The Houthis have declared they no longer want to fight. They simply don’t want to fight anymore. And we will honor that. We will stop the bombings, and they have surrendered.”</p><p>Yemeni officials immediately <a href="https://shafaq.com/en/Middle-East/Houthis-reject-Trump-s-claims-of-surrender" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dismissed</a> the claim, reiterating that Sanaa had not negotiated with Washington nor agreed to halt operations in support of Gaza. The Sanaa government’s naval campaign resumed soon after, with fresh attacks targeting Israeli-linked vessels – undermining Trump’s attempt to declare victory.</p><p><strong>New red lines in the Red Sea</strong></p><p>In a statement on Sunday, explaining the latest phase of the naval operations, YAF spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree <a href="https://english.news.cn/20250728/49d74dec87ef4dafaa4249a741e6e670/c.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">said</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“This escalation includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality and wherever they may be, within our forces’ reach. We warn all companies to cease their dealings with Israeli ports, starting the hour this statement is issued.”</p></blockquote><p>The new escalation comes just several weeks after the sinking of&nbsp;two Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carriers – the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/yemen-red-sea-ship-attacked-2f10bed442ebca4aa026b5dc67a05b76" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Magic Seas</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/mideast-wars-yemen-houthis-israel-6dc55ee05a9d1e78621788aa0bc52168" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eternity C</a>. In the latter attack, four sailors were killed and two others wounded, while 11 other crew members were taken captive.<br>Following the sinking of the two ships, Ansarallah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi revealed that the YAF had carried out over 1,679 attacks since November 2023 using missiles, drones, and warships in support of Gaza, warning of further escalation if the war does not end.</p><p>Although the Sanaa government agreed in May to a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/06/us-to-halt-bombing-campaign-against-houthis-in-yemen-trump-says" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ceasefire</a> with Washington, halting attacks on US warships, it maintains that this truce does not apply to vessels linked to the occupation state. These ships, Sanaa argues, continue to serve Israeli ports, part of “occupied Palestine.”</p><p>Contrary to western media narratives of indiscriminate aggression, maritime data from Lloyd’s List <a href="https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1154145/Houthi-attacks-raise-risk-assessment-questions-for-Red-Sea-transits#:~:text=Both%C2%A0Eternity%20C%20and%20Magic%20Seas%20(IMO%3A%209736169)%2C%20which%20was%20attacked%2024%20hours%20prior%20to%20the%20Eternity%20C%20strikes%2C%20were%20part%20of%20commercial%20fleets%2C%20which%20have%20made%20regular%20calls%20to%20Isr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">confirmed</a> that both targeted vessels had routinely docked in Israeli ports over the past year.</p><p>The ongoing attacks have prompted international concern. The UN Security Council recently <a href="https://apnews.com/article/un-yemen-houthis-resolution-red-sea-attacks-50c0ba1045fc5c01838a780d05182c9e" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">approved</a> continued reporting on Red Sea maritime assaults. Twelve members of the 15-member council voted in favor, while Russia, China, and Algeria abstained over concerns about breaches of Yemen’s sovereignty.</p><p>China’s deputy UN Ambassador Geng Shuang&nbsp;called tensions in the Red Sea “a major manifestation of the spillover from the Gaza conflict.” At the same time,&nbsp;the Russian UN representative also stressed the link between normalizing the situation in the Red Sea and the need for a ceasefire in Gaza.</p><p><strong>Challenging naval supremacy</strong></p><p>Despite the presence of five major foreign military bases in Djibouti – home to US, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Italian forces – &nbsp;the Ansarallah-aligned army has continued to strike commercial vessels with precision. This raises uncomfortable questions about western and allied naval efficacy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking to <i>The Cradle</i>, Senior Research Fellow at The Soufan Center, Colin P. Clarke – who also teaches at Carnegie Mellon’s Institute for Politics and Strategy – says Yemen ranks among the most potent forces within the Axis of Resistance and shows no sign of retreat:</p><blockquote><p>“Out of all the ‘Axis’ proxies, the Houthis are among the most potent and also have a lot to prove. I don’t expect them to wind down their military campaign at any point soon.”</p></blockquote><p>Nicholas Brumfield, a Washington-based analyst on Yemen and maritime security, concurs. He tells <i>The Cradle</i> that Yemen’s campaign has remained largely undiminished despite nearly two years of US and Israeli airstrikes:</p><blockquote><p>“The Houthi attacks since early July have thus far been limited to areas of the Red Sea where they have attacked before, so it’s unclear if there’s been any increase in their range. As for Trump’s claims of capitulation, that was always viewed by most researchers focused on Yemen as a bit of hot air. The US–Houthi ceasefire&nbsp;was a limited de-escalation between two parties, and the Houthis have more or less been continuing what they were doing before the truce in terms of attacking Israel directly.”</p></blockquote><p>Clarke adds that Trump’s reluctance to escalate against Yemen stemmed from electoral optics and strategic caution against bogging the US down in “endless wars,” which is one of the reasons why the US involvement in bombing Iran was so circumscribed. “Trump believes, perhaps correctly so, that it would be extremely difficult to engage with the Houthis without being sucked into a quagmire from which it would be difficult to escape from. And the results would be hard to measure.”</p><p>According to Mohamed Aliriani of the Yemen Policy Center, the May ceasefire secured safe passage for US, UK, Chinese, and Russian vessels – thanks to the latter two’s ties with Iran. But ships from other nations remain exposed. European-led operations, he argues, are largely ineffectual in safeguarding their cargoes.</p><p>Aliriani tells <i>The Cradle</i>&nbsp;that “the current situation has created a two-tiered, protectionist system that benefits powerful states while driving up global insurance and shipping costs, setting a dangerous precedent for other strategic chokepoints.”</p><p>Persistently high insurance premiums reflect the enduring risk. “Had the threat been perceived as eliminated, traffic would have resumed, and rates would have dropped,” he explains. The Yemeni army’s targeting of oil and chemical carriers has introduced environmental and financial perils that keep insurers wary.</p><p><strong>Redefining control at sea</strong></p><p>These facts point to a stark reality: The Ansarallah-led naval campaign has largely succeeded in imposing an effective blockade on Israeli-linked maritime traffic.</p><p>Still, Aliriani cautions against overstating the extent of Sanaa’s control. “The Houthis do not exercise Sea Control over the Red Sea, as they lack a surface fleet capable of patrolling and commanding the waterways. What they have successfully achieved is Area Denial.” By demonstrating a credible capability to hold any vessel transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait at risk, they have made passage through this critical chokepoint prohibitively dangerous for any vessel:</p><blockquote><p>“Their strike range has proven to extend for hundreds of kilometers and given the information available about the weapons used, range likely exceeds 1,000 kilometers, effectively denying the use of a vast area without needing to control it physically.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>Independent force, not Iranian proxy</strong></p><p>Western narratives often depict Ansarallah as mere Iranian proxies. Yet, there is scant evidence that Tehran directed these maritime attacks.</p><p>Brumfield points out that while Iran continues to supply advanced weaponry to its ally – as evidenced by a 750-ton arms shipment intercepted en route to Yemen – there is no indication of Iranian command over Ansarallah operations.</p><p>Former UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar has consistently <a href="https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/ansarallah-houthi-attacks-israel-red-sea-ships" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">emphasized</a> Sanaa’s autonomous decision-making, noting that they “have their own agendas and decision-making mechanisms.”</p><p><strong>Palestine remains the compass</strong></p><p>The timing of recent Yemeni operations suggests a clear link to developments in Gaza. Brumfield observes that Sanaa was notably quiet during last month’s 12-day war between Iran and Israel, only to escalate following reports of worsening conditions in the besieged enclave:</p><blockquote><p>“When there was a ceasefire in Gaza, the Houthis completely stopped their maritime attacks.

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Ansarallah Announces Stage Four of Naval Blockade: Total Blockade of Shipping</strong></p><p></p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF)&nbsp;announced late on 27 July that it has launched a “fourth phase” of its naval blockade against the Zionist occupation in support of Gaza.</p><p>In the statement, the YAF vowed to target the ships of any company that deals with Zionist ports, “regardless of its nationality” or destination, and in “any location.”</p><p>YAF spokesperson Yahya Saree warned the directive is effective from the moment of the announcement.</p><p>He stressed that ships belonging to violating companies will be targeted wherever Yemeni missiles and drones can reach, regardless of their destination.</p><p>Saree added that if countries wish to avoid further escalation, they must pressure the Zionist enemy to end its aggression and lift the siege on the Gaza Strip.</p><p>The spokesperson said that what the forces are doing expresses their moral and humanitarian commitment to the injustice suffered by the brotherly Palestinian people.</p><p>The statement reads in full:</p><blockquote><p>Given the rapid developments in occupied Palestine, specifically in the Gaza Strip, including the continuation of the war of genocide and the martyrdom of thousands of our brotherly Palestinian people as a result of the aggression and siege that has been ongoing for months, and amid shameful Arab, Islamic, and international silence.</p><p>Yemen, in the face of the continuation of these horrific, brutal, and unprecedented massacres in our contemporary history, finds&nbsp; itself faces a religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibility toward the oppressed who are subjected daily and around-the-clock, to killing and destruction by air, land, and sea bombardment, as well as to starvation and thirst due to the stifling and severe siege on steadfast and proud Gaza, which is unacceptable to any human being, let alone Arabs and Muslims.</p><p>Accordingly, the Yemeni Armed Forces, relying on Allah Almighty and trusting in Allah, have decided to escalate their military support operations and begin implementing the fourth phase of the naval blockade against the enemy.</p><p>This phase includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with the ports of the Israeli enemy, regardless of the nationality of that company, and in any location within the reach of our armed forces.</p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces warn all companies to cease their dealings with Israeli enemy ports starting from the moment this statement is announced. Otherwise, their ships, regardless of their destination, will be targeted anywhere that can be reached or within the reach of our missiles and drones.</p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces call on all countries, if they want to avoid this escalation, to pressure the enemy to halt its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.<br>There is no free person on this earth who can accept what is happening.</p><p>The actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces express our moral and humanitarian commitment to the injustice against the brotherly Palestinian people, and all our military operations will be ceased immediately upon the cessation of aggression against Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.</p></blockquote><p>Yemen began its maritime blockade operation on the occupation in November 2023. Since then, it has attacked scores of vessels sailing toward Zionist ports, significantly impacting the occupation’s economy and forcing the shutdown of the southern port of Eilat.</p><p>Earlier this month, the Yemeni army sank two Greek-owned, Liberian-flagged vessels that were heading to or dealing with Zionist ports.</p><p>The YAF has also continued to target the occupation with ballistic missiles. The regime carried out a massive attack on Yemen in early July.</p><p>According to Zionist Channel 12, Tel Aviv is planning a “major offensive” against Yemen and is waiting for a green light from the occupation’s political echelon.</p><p>Other Zionist reports said recently that Tel Aviv has been lobbying&nbsp;Washington to restart its campaign against Yemen and form a broad coalition to end the threat posed by the YAF. A deadly US campaign against Yemen that was launched in March came to an end in May after Washington burned through around $1 billion in munitions, failing to impact Sanaa’s military capabilities.</p><p>Yemen’s announcement late on Sunday comes as the regime’s siege has created catastrophic levels of famine in the Gaza Strip.</p><p>Dozens, including children, have died of starvation over the past week.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20583" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20583</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/blockade/" target="_blank">#blockade</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Regional Resistance after the Gaza Genocide</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>This commentary considers the state of the West Asian regional resistance in July 2025, based on these premises:</strong></p><p>– The Zionist regime is the central enemy of the independent peoples of the region,</p><p>– Resistance is necessary for the survival of the Palestinian people and for that of the surrounding independent Arab and Muslim peoples.</p><p>– While Israeli weaknesses have been exposed, especially its dependence on outside weapons and money, a crushing military defeat is necessary to collapse the regime.</p><p>– While extremely courageous and steadfast, the Resistance in Palestine is unable – by itself – to impose such a defeat and so dismantle Israeli apartheid.</p><p>– International support is necessary to legitimise such a defeat and dismantle the Jewish supremacist / apartheid regime, the mother of all great crimes.</p><p>– The self defence provisions of the UN Charter (Art 51) are important but provide insufficient rationale for concerted and effective resistance action.</p><p>– Iran, in concert with regional resistance forces, is capable of imposing a crushing military defeat on the Zionist regime, and thus force regime change.</p><p>But what is the current state of Resistance forces, after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the collapse of independent Syria and the ongoing attacks on Lebanon and Iran?</p><p><strong>A note on method:</strong></p><p>These observations are based on the public record plus conversations with people in the region, including Resistance figures, plus site visits in Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Beirut and South Lebanon.</p><p>The rapidly changing security environment in West Asia, alongside the desirability of sharing timely perspectives, in between Round One (13-25 June) and an expected Round Two (perhaps September 2025) of fighting between “Israel” and Iran, has led to this rushed and abbreviated method, in point form and with limited referencing.</p><p>The perspectives and provisional conclusions are those of the author.</p><p><strong>Palestine since October 2023</strong></p><p>The Al-Aqsa Flood operation was a brilliant resistance initiative which galvanised the region and the world; reprisal massacres of civilians by the Israelis destroyed their image, despite all the doublespeak; the Israeli military was <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/opinion/october-7-and-the-palestinian-revolution" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">left utterly dependent on outside support</a>.</p><p>While the Israelis had provided special treatment to Hamas in the past, to foment a sectarian split with Fatah, Hamas has moved from its Muslim Brotherhood sectarian phase to full alignment with Resistance forces in Gaza and in the region.</p><p>It is not true that the Israelis created Hamas, nor that they knew in advance of ‘Al-Aqsa flood’; they knew of training but not of the timing, scope or audacity of the operation.</p><p>The open Gaza genocide (classical fascist reprisals against a civilian population) <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/03/most-people-across-24-surveyed-countries-have-negative-views-of-israel-and-netanyahu/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">galvanised the world against the colonisers</a>, only intransigent Western and Arab elites still back the regime. Constant Resistance in Gaza persists, despite the ongoing Zionist holocaust.</p><p>A key internal problem is the Palestinian Authority, which collaborates to repress resistance and maintain the deceptive ‘two states’ illusion – a cover for ongoing colonisation and apartheid. Nevertheless, armed groups associated with Fatah form part of the resistance.</p><p>Gaza resistance forces continue to impose heavy casualties on the Israelis (Fabian 2025). Though the resistance cannot be eliminated yet, its actions are insufficient, in themselves, to impose a final defeat on the NATO backed Israeli military.</p><p>Within Palestine, several resistance factions remain active, and the constant Israeli crimes help in recruiting the next generation. US sources say the Israelis may have killed about 15,000 Hamas fighters, but <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-has-added-up-15000-fighters-since-start-war-us-figures-show-2025-01-24/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">that a similar number of young recruits joined</a>.</p><p>While the al-Qassam brigades (of Hamas) has been the leading faction in Gaza, a coalition of groups remains active. Under <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistanceops/" target="_blank">#ResistanceOps</a>, Iran’s <em>Press TV </em>listed the daily activities of these groups from October 2023 until the “ceasefire” of January 2025.</p><p>As well as al-Qassam, the other main active groups in Gaza have been the al-Quds brigade (of Palestinian Islamic Jihad), the al-Aqsa Martyrs and al-Asifah (both armed wings of Fatah), the Abu Ali Mustafa brigades (of the PFLP) and several other smaller groups.</p><p><em>Press TV </em>has also listed Palestinian Resistance actions in the West Bank as well as “Axis of Resistance” actions against the Israelis, which have included those from Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen and the Iraqi PMFs.</p><p>The courage and steadfastness of these young Palestinian fighters is extraordinary. They are the ones who woke the conscience of the world and of their regional partners.</p><p>As at July 2025, the Gaza Resistance <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/5-idf-soldiers-killed-14-injured-by-roadside-bomb-in-northern-gaza/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">keeps striking the Israeli invaders in Gaza,</a> causing many casualties, but never enough – by themselves – to impose a crushing defeat on the Israeli occupation. This is why the regional Resistance remains so important.</p><p><strong><strong>Lebanon since October 2023 </strong></strong></p><p>From October 2023 to November 2024, Hezbollah carried out courageous attacks on Israeli positions in South Lebanon and north Palestine, diverting Israeli forces from Gaza to the north, clearing most of the colonial settlements in northern Palestine, but losing at least 300 fighters from Israeli retaliation.</p><p>In September 2024, the Israelis carried out terrorist attacks in Lebanon, using exploding pagers, and bombing South Lebanon villages and south Beirut, where they killed Hezbollah commanders, including Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah on September 27.</p><p>On October 1, 2024, Israeli forces tried an invasion of South Lebanon, but fierce Resistance in the south meant they could not capture a single village; defending just the village of Khiam (for example) cost more than 300 martyrs; the resistance effort in the South was not just from the two Lebanese Shia parties (Hezbollah and Amal), but many Palestinian factions joined in and suffered losses as wekk.</p><p>The Israelis penetrated Hezbollah communications for their assassinations, and detected weapons caches; they destroyed much of Hezbollah’s missile stocks.</p><p>With the invasion failing, the Israelis agreed to a ceasefire on November 27 (between the Lebanese government and the Israelis), including a Lebanese pledge to allow only the Lebanese army (which had never engaged the Israeli enemy) in the South; however, the Israelis have repeatedly violated this ceasefire agreement.</p><p>Hezbollah, on the other hand, refrained from responding to Israeli aggression after the ceasefire and has concentrated on rebuilding its networks and supply chains.</p><p>The Resistance defended the south, albeit at great cost, while the Israelis bombed Beirut freely, in the absence of any air defence; <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/the-death-toll-in-lebanon-crosses-3000-in-israeli-attacks-health-ministry-says" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">several thousand Lebanese were killed</a>, mostly civilians (and with many more injured and displaced), compared to only 100 Israeli soldier deaths (plus 900 injured).</p><p>The Lebanese Resistance, led by Hezbollah, prevented the October-November 2024 Israeli invasion of South Lebanon, yet was seriously weakened by aerial attacks.</p><p>We could speak of the performance of the Lebanese Resistance in three sections:</p><p>In gains, they:</p><ol><li>Distracted the Israeli military from Gaza and cleared most of the northern settlements</li><li>Reasserted their moral standing (in support for Gaza and in Shia-Sunni Muslim solidarity)</li><li>Maintained their strong, core popular support base.</li></ol><p>In losses they:</p><ol><li>Suffered some weakened domestic standing by “inviting” Israeli reprisals;</li><li>Lost much of their leadership, many fighters and many of their weapons;</li><li>Suffered huge civilian and residential losses and damage from the Israeli bombing;</li><li>Suffered weakened deterrence, with no effective air defence of Beirut or South Lebanon.</li><li>Lost independent Syria as a source of supply after the collapse of Damascus.</li></ol><p>The challenges they face include:</p><ol><li>The need to rebuild leadership, security and military capacity,</li><li>The need to develop a national air defence capability;</li><li>The need to consolidate Hezbollah’s domestic political standing while rejecting Israeli and US disarmament demands.</li><li>A need to face threatened aggression from foreign militants embedded in HTS-led Syria.</li></ol><p>In the current situation, the Lebanese Army (which from its US and French patronage has always has not confronted Israeli invaders) is being tested in its role to defend the south, while Israeli occupation, assassinations and home demolitions continue. For Hezbollah, rebuilding is proceeding quietly with new security systems.</p><p><strong>Syria since October 2023</strong></p><p>In early December 2024, just after the ceasefire in Lebanon, an invasion of NATO backed terrorist groups from Idlib and Turkey (let by HTS-Nusra) rapidly took over the cities of Aleppo, Hama, Homs and then Damascus, facing a near complete surrender of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).</p><p>This unexpected and rapid collapse of the SAA seems to have come from the purchase of a large number of Syrian commanders by the Qatari-Turkish side. It was soon followed by an Israeli invasion of the south and bombing of key defence installations.</p><p>The collapse of the majority of the SAA command was not along sectarian lines, as Sunni generals and those from the minorities appear on both sides. The traitors mostly remain in Syria, reportedly assisting the HTS regime from two bases, a luxury hotel in Damascus and from the village of Draykish, Tartous.</p><p>Russia intervened to remove the minority loyal commanders to Moscow, where (as with former President Assad) they remain; Russia rarely intervened in post-coup Syria.</p><p>Persecution of minority groups (especially the Alawis) and those associated with the SAA began immediately, but has been ignored by the Western sponsors of the HTS coup regime.</p><p>There are many rumours in Syria about how the SAA collapse occurred. Amongst the Syrian patriots (all of whom supported the SAA) there are some loyal to Assad who say he was kidnapped or betrayed, others say he was a traitor to leave without a word and to not stay and fight to the end.</p><p>There are also bad feelings towards the Russians, because they were seen to have the capacity to stop the HTS takeover, did not help resolve the occupation of Idlib (after a ceasefire which they organised in 2020) and, later, because they did not stop the biggest massacres which took place in Jableh, very close to Russia’s Hmeimim airbase.</p><p>However, from what I have heard, it seems that the fix was made by Syria’s enemies in Qatar and Turkey, and then Russia was faced with a ‘fait accompli’. With the command corrupted and the SAA dissolved, Russia then removed the loyal commanders (to Russia) and tried to protect its assets in Syria. I am fairly sure that Russia and Iran both concluded that, if the SAA would not defend Syria, they could not do it for them.</p><p>Many soldiers in the SAA would have fought (as they had for the previous 14 years), but, as a disciplined force and with their command corrupted, they dissolved.</p><p>After a one day resistance uprising on the coast, large scale reprisal massacres of the Alawi civilian community (in early March 2025) were carried out by gangs under the HTS umbrella.</p><p>Soon after, there were attacks on Druze and Christians.</p><p>HTS aligned gangs, pretending to represent Arab tribes, attacked majority Druze Sweida in July 2025. Hundreds were killed, but the Druze in Sweida resisted. The Israelis carried out some bombing of HTS bases and convoys in an attempt to portray themselves as the guardians and protectors of the Druze, but their masters in Washington persuaded the Israelis to disengage. The Western media falsely portrayed these attacks as tribal conflicts between Bedouin and Druze which the HTS was trying to resolve. HTS (which, despite its jihadist propaganda, had never attacked the Israelis) used false flag killings to fuel this disinformation, as they had throughout the long dirty war (2011-2024).</p><p>There is Syrian resistance, but it is weak and divided. The Alawis, who have suffered most, have no real leadership and are intimidated by the reprisals against civilians. The Druze are small and isolated. The Christians have suffered less, so far, except for the June 2025 suicide bomb attack on a church in Dwel’a (SE Damascus).</p><p>Washington’s claim to have been engaged in a “war on terror” has been exposed by its informal but open celebration of former ISIS /Nusra/HTS leader Jolani (al-Sharaa), installed as unelected President.</p><p>In the current situation, there is no effective Syrian state, and little prospect of an organised resistance to HTS/AlQaeda rule. No state yet recognises the Jolani regime, but Western governments are engaged in a de facto normalisation process. Syria’s role as a source of arms and other support for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance has been neutralised, for now.</p><p><strong>Yemen since October 2023</strong></p><p>Soon after effectively defeating the US-Saudi-Emirati led ‘coalition of aggression’ in the 2015-2022 war, the Ansar Allah led revolutionary government in Sanaa, which controls 75% of the populated areas of Yemen (but is called ‘Houthi rebels’ by the Western media) decided to come to the aid the besieged Palestinian people in Gaza; they saw this as a moral obligation.</p><p>The Red Sea operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, from late 2023, which had demonstrable mass support in Yemen, were <a href="https://www.saba.ye/en/news3486011.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">designed to impose a quarantine on the Israeli regime</a>, in accordance with their Quranic moral duty to help the oppressed and to comply with their legal obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Yemeni naval quarantine forced Israeli linked shipping to avoid the Red Sea and, after some months, forced the <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/us-aircraft-carrier-forced-to-retreat-in-red-sea-after-attack-yemen-s-houthis-say/3435018" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">retreat of a US naval counter force</a>.</p><p>Ansar Allah officials have also confirmed (to this writer) that they felt their responsibility for the regional Resistance (and to Palestine) had ‘doubled’ since the fall of Damascus.</p><p>The Israelis keep bombing infrastructure and facilities in Yemen but, due to their poor intelligence and Yemeni air defence, have made minimal impact on Yemen’s military assets;</p><p>Yemen retaliates, striking the Israelis directly with domestically produced drones and hypersonic missiles.</p><p>In the current situation, Yemen maintains its operations in support of the Palestinian people and keeps communications with Iranian forces and Resistance groups in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon, ready to coordinate in a regional response to the Zionist enemy.</p><p><strong>Iraq since October 2023</strong></p><p>Iraq remains occupied by the US military, ever since they called out for assistance in 2014 (after a surge of US backed ISIS terrorism), in a moment of weakness. US occupation troops had previously withdrawn in 2011, but then they pretended to be “fighting ISIS”.</p><p>As it happened, ISIS was defeated in Iraq by the popular mobilisation forces (PMF) assisted by Iran. On many occasions, the Iraqi resistance blamed the US military for obstructing this fight and covertly helping ISIS.</p><p>Some of the PMF (mostly Shia but also from Sunni communities) are now formally part of the Iraqi state security forces, while some other groups remain outside, yet still working closely with the state; that latter group has occasionally attacked US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria.</p><p>Over 2024, some of the PMF groups launched missile attacks on Israeli facilities, in support of Hezbollah and Yemeni operations.</p><p>There is widespread <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iraq-seeks-quick-exit-us-forces-no-deadline-set-pm-says-2024-01-10/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dissatisfaction in Iraq with the continued US occupation</a>, which heavily constrains independent policy; the parliament and government have demanded their withdrawal, but they refuse to leave, falsely claiming an ongoing mandate to fight ISIS.</p><p>More recently, Iraqi dissatisfaction focused on Iraqi airspace being used for the Israelis to attack Iran, against Iraq’s will. Some PMF factions stand ready to join with Iran and the Palestinian resistance to help remove the US military presence from the region.</p><p><strong>Iran since October 2023</strong></p><p>Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, support for the Palestinian people has been set in the <a href="https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/492115/Iran-s-support-for-Gaza-is-based-on-national-constitution-Raisi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“principles of the country’s constitution”</a>&nbsp;and developed through a number of cultural, military and political initiatives.</p><p>Iran supports all the Palestinian Resistance factions, the Resistance in Lebanon, the Ansar Allah led government in Yemen and (previously) the Assad government in Syria (which in turn helped arm the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance).</p><p>However Iran’s direct engagement against the Israelis has so far only come through a self defence rationale, on three occasions: (1) True Promise 1 in April 2024, after an Israeil attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, (2) True Promise 2 in October 2024, after several Israeli assassinations, including of Palestinian leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Both these operations were demonstrative, probing Israeli defences and showing Iran’s missile capability.</p><p>Operation True Promise 3 was set to happen earlier, but only came about after the sneak Israeli attack on Iran on 13 June (in the middle of Iran’s much hyped indirect nuclear talks with Washington); Iran’s substantial retaliation in this 12 day war targeted Israeli military bases and infrastructure. After 12 days, with Israeli weapons stocks running low, President Trump intervened to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities and unilaterally declare a ceasefire; both sides accepted this, and both sides declared victory.</p><p>While Tehran did much damage to Israeli military and infrastructure, the Israelis caused more deaths, <a href="https://www.en-hrana.org/twelve-days-under-fire-a-comprehensive-report-on-the-iran-israel-war/#:~:text=Human%20Casualties%20from%20the%20Iran,of%20medical%20and%20local%20volunteers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1,190 in Iran compared to 28 in “Israel”</a>; <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/these-are-the-28-victims-killed-in-iranian-missile-attacks-during-the-12-day-conflict/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">yet “Israel” claims Iran ‘targeted civilians’</a>. The Israelis hide their damages but admit that, in the second half of the 12 days war, at least <a href="https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/yes-iran-did-hit-israel-with-missiles/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">16% of Iran’s incoming missiles breached Israeli air defences</a> (Silver, Stephen 2025).</p><p>Currently, Iran has <a href="https://en.mehrnews.com/news/234525/Iran-replaces-damaged-air-defense-systems-with-new-ones" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">replaced its damaged air defences</a>,&nbsp;and will respond to a second attack from the Israelis, relying on the self defence right. Tehran needs a wider anti-apartheid mandate to respond (with its allies) with overwhelming force and destroy the Zionist regime. Yet so far, it has sought to contain escalation with Washington, which is likely to intervene in the event of an existential crisis for the Israeli regime.</p><p><strong>Overall: The Axis of Resistance since October 2023</strong></p><p>The Palestinian resistance has fought bravely since October 2023, despite its limited capabilities and despite the massive reprisals against the civilian population of Gaza and the renewed ethnic cleansing on the West Bank. The resistance has seriously weakened the occupation, but international sponsors keep giving the upper hand to the apartheid regime.</p><p>The Gaza genocide continues, fuelling the expansionist ambitions of the NATO backed apartheid regime.</p><p>Hezbollah and its allies prevented a wholesale occupation of South Lebanon, but were weakened by aerial bombing; Hezbollah is now quietly rebuilding and resisting demands to disarm.</p><p>The regional resistance lost Syria (which contained northern Israeli expansion and provided weapons to Lebanon and Palestine) but gained Yemen (which strikes the Israelis directly and blocks shipping supply to the Zionist regime).</p><p>Significant resistance support remains in Iraq but is constrained by the US occupation.</p><p>Iran was finally attacked directly by the Israelis (jubilant that they managed to drag the US into their aggression), but that attack unified Iran’s political factions and ensured strong retaliation.</p><p>It seems likely that the Israelis, after rebuilding their war inventory, will initiate a second round against Iran, perhaps in September; Iran has also been rebuilding its defences. Iran seems likely to maintain its retaliation on a self defence rationale, yet a new rationale is required to impose a crushing defeat on the Israelis, end the genocide and dismantle the apartheid regime.</p><p>Currently (July 2025) the initiative remains with the Israelis, but Iran and its regional allies have the capacity to bring down the Israeli regime.</p><p>When this happens, the post-apartheid dilemma will be defeating the rise of a revised “Israel” (i.e. the embedding of colonial privilege, such as land theft and diaspora immigration) by liberal Zionists, their sponsors and the comprador Arab regimes.</p><p>source: <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/regional-resistance-after-the-gaza-genocide" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Al Mayadeen</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20561" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20561</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/anti-colonialism/" target="_blank">#antiColonialism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/axis-of-resistance/" target="_blank">#axisOfResistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hezbollah/" target="_blank">#hezbollah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/iran/" target="_blank">#iran</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/lebanon/" target="_blank">#lebanon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistanceops/" target="_blank">#ResistanceOps</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Al-Qassam Brigades Strike Zionist Command Post, Ansarallah Targets Occupation</strong></p><p></p><p>Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that its fighters had bombarded a Zionist command and control post near the courthouse complex south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip using mortar shells.</p><p>In a separate operation, the Brigades reported targeting a Zionist Namer armored personnel carrier (APC) with a “Yasin 105” rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in the western al-Satar area, north of Khan Younis, near the intersection of Street 5. The group confirmed that a Zionist soldier was positioned atop the vehicle at the time of the strike.</p><p><strong>Zionist troops east of Jabalia shelled</strong></p> <p>Meanwhile, the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, stated that they had shelled a gathering of Zionist troops and vehicles near the al-Mabhouh site, east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. The attack was carried out using 60mm standard mortar shells.</p><p><strong>Al-Quds Brigades publish footage of explosive ambush in Deir al-Balah</strong></p><p>Earlier in the day, the al-Quds Brigades, affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, released footage showing the detonation of a minefield packed with high-explosive charges targeting Zionist military vehicles advancing east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.</p><p><strong>Ansarallah launches attacks on occupation</strong></p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their domestically developed Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile struck a strategic Zionist target in the occupied Beer al-Sabe’ area. The missile strike was part of a broader coordinated campaign that included three drone attacks.</p><p>According to a statement released by the Yemeni military spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operation targeted what was described as a “sensitive site belonging to the Zionist enemy.” The nature of the target was not specified, but the spokesperson emphasized that the missile strike “achieved its objective with precision.”</p><p>In addition to the missile launch, Saree confirmed that the Yemeni Air Force conducted three separate drone attacks targeting strategic sites in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), Askalan, and Khodeira (Hadera), located just south of Haifa. All three drone strikes were said to have successfully achieved their objectives.</p><p>The statement framed the attacks as part of an ongoing campaign to pressure the occupation to halt its aggression on Gaza and lift the ongoing blockade, which has triggered a growing humanitarian catastrophe. “Our operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ends and the siege is lifted,” the Yemeni Armed Forces declared.</p><p>Brigadier General Saree warned that further escalatory actions are being considered, reaffirming Yemen’s commitment to the Palestinian cause. “We will not retreat from our steadfast position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences,” the statement read.</p><p><strong>Sirens triggered across southern West Bank, near Dead Sea</strong></p><p>Earlier today, the occupation military reported the detection of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen.</p><p>According to Zionist media, the missile triggered air raid sirens across several settlements in the southern West Bank and in communities near the Dead Sea. The alerts were sounded just minutes after initial military warnings of an inbound threat.</p><p>Zionist military officials said the projectile was part of a broader campaign of aerial attacks originating from Yemen.</p><p><strong>Yemen reaffirms Gaza support, condemns Arab complicity, Zionist crimes</strong></p><p>Earlier today, Yemenis held yet another&nbsp;million-strong demonstration, condemning Arab inaction toward Gaza while reaffirming Yemeni support for Palestine, while denouncing the Zionists siege and starvation of Palestinians amid calls for confrontation.</p><p>The Yemeni Marches Committee declared that the silence and inaction of Arab leaders have emboldened the occupation to continue and escalate&nbsp;its crimes.</p><p>The statement also welcomed and praised the announcement by the Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi that&nbsp;further retaliatory measures against the occupying regime are being considered, expressing full trust that Sanaa’s leadership will not spare an effort to support and defend Gaza.</p><p>It also asserted that Yemen is prepared to face any repercussions resulting from the battle against the Zionist entity and support for Gaza and its people, emphasizing commitment to the popular and official&nbsp;stance, supportive of Palestine and Gaza as part of their religious duty.</p><p><strong>Yemen remains steadfast in supporting Gaza</strong></p><p>On July 24, Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi once again called on nations situated between Yemen and Palestine to “open transit routes for our people,” enabling mass mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis in solidarity with Gaza.</p><p>Yemen continues to launch operations against the entity in support of Gaza, most recently launching a precise military operation targeting the&nbsp;Ben Gurion Airport with a Palestine-2 ballistic missile on July 22, forcing millions of settlers into shelters and paralyzing activity at the airport.</p><p>Brigadier General Yehya Saree emphasized at the time that the operation was carried out in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance, directly countering the occupation’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and reaffirming that such military operations would continue&nbsp;unabated until the aggression ceases and the siege is fully lifted.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20565" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20565</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Eight Zionist Troops Injured, Ansarallah Calls Invasion of Zionist Entity</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>Zionist media have reported that several occupation forces troops were wounded in al-Shujaiya, as Palestinian Resistance factions continue to launch attacks and execute ambushes targeting Zionist soldiers in Gaza.</p><p>The al-Quds Brigades, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, stated that they launched a coordinated artillery and missile attack against occupation troops fortified in a residential area along the western line north of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.</p><p>The al-Quds Brigades’ Military Media released footage showing their fighters striking gatherings of soldiers and military vehicles in Khan Younis using mortar fire.</p><p>On its part, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed targeting a command and control position in the Morag axis using their short-range Rajoum rocket system in an operation on Wednesday.</p><p><strong>Nine Zionist troops wounded</strong></p><p>Meanwhile, Zionist news outlets reported that eight soldiers sustained injuries during operational activities in al-Shujaiya, a district of Gaza City in the northern Strip, with preliminary information indicating the wounds resulted from an explosion, the cause of which authorities are still working to determine.</p><p>The Zionist military confirmed on Thursday that a soldier had suffered severe injuries during fighting in southern Gaza the previous day, July 24, without elaborating on the specifics of the engagement or the precise area where the injury took place.</p><p>The occupation army stated in an official release that the wounded soldier serves in the armored corps of Battalion 71 of Brigade 188, while occupation media sources reported that he sustained shrapnel injuries to the head from a mortar shell impact before being medically evacuated for urgent treatment at a military hospital.</p><p><strong>Over 18,500 Zionist troops wounded since beginning of war</strong></p><p>In a report earlier this week, the occupation recorded more than 18,500 injuries among its forces since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip, according to a report published on July 21 by Zionist <em>Channel 12</em>. The&nbsp;figures underscore the growing toll of nearly 10 months of warfare, with a significant number of those wounded suffering from both physical and psychological trauma.</p><p>According to the report, at least 12,500 troops sustained physical injuries, while more than 10,000 are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other psychological conditions, reflecting the intensity of combat and the deep mental strain within the ranks of the occupation forces.</p><p>The data revealed that 33% of the physical injuries involved the limbs, 13% affected the head, eyes, or ears, and 7% were related to the spine, neck, or back, which are injuries typically associated with high-intensity urban warfare and repeated exposure to explosions.</p><p><strong>Hamas rejects US accusations</strong></p><p>The Palestinian Resistance party Hamas has rejected accusations by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that it is unwilling to pursue a ceasefire in Gaza, affirming its continued commitment to “serious and responsible” negotiations aimed at ending the aggression that began on October 7, 2023.</p><p>In an official statement early on Friday, Hamas emphasized that it had submitted its latest response to mediators following “extensive consultations with Palestinian factions, friendly countries, and all concerned parties.” The movement said it had shown flexibility throughout the negotiation process, responding positively to suggestions aimed at overcoming obstacles to a “just and comprehensive” agreement.</p><p>The group stressed that its priority remains “ending the aggression, lifting the siege, and reaching a stable and lasting agreement that preserves the rights and sacrifices of the Palestinian people.”</p><p><strong>US envoy’s remarks dismissed as inaccurate</strong></p><p>Hamas expressed surprise at Witkoff’s recent remarks, in which he accused the group of lacking seriousness and claimed that its latest response showed it was not interested in de-escalation. Hamas described these comments as “inaccurate” and “not reflective of the truth,” noting that the mediators themselves had “welcomed and expressed satisfaction” with the Palestinian response — in stark contrast to Washington’s portrayal.</p><p>The US and Zionist delegations had recently withdrawn from indirect negotiations in Doha, citing what Witkoff described as Hamas’s failure to coordinate a unified Palestinian position. He also criticized the movement for allegedly reversing previously agreed-upon elements of a phased truce.</p> <p><strong>Focus on aid, withdrawal maps, guarantees</strong></p><p>Palestinian sources close to the negotiations said that Hamas’ response focused primarily on three issues: securing the regular entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, clarifying the maps of Zionist military withdrawal, and obtaining credible international guarantees to ensure a permanent ceasefire.</p><p>Hamas reportedly refused alterations made to the US-backed proposal, which Resistance sources say shrinks a proposed 60-day truce down to just one week without guarantees on prisoner releases, reconstruction, or long-term de-occupation commitments.</p><p>Earlier frameworks, initially presented in January and backed by Qatar and Egypt, had included the release of all hostages in stages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian detainees, as well as the phased withdrawal of Zionist forces and international mechanisms for Gaza’s reconstruction. However, the new framework, which bears the imprint of the Netanyahu government and US envoy Steve Witkoff, appears to fall short of those understandings.</p><p><strong>Hamas affirms continued engagement</strong></p><p>Despite the diplomatic fallout, Hamas reiterated that it remains committed to engaging seriously in the negotiations. “We are determined to reach an agreement that serves our people and ends the aggression,” the movement affirmed in its statement.</p><p>The Gaza Strip remains under intensified Israeli bombardment and siege, with the humanitarian situation deteriorating rapidly. Aid access remains intermittent, and ceasefire talks are the only avenue to halting the months-long Zionist military campaign that has displaced over 80% of Gaza’s population and caused unprecedented destruction.</p><p><strong>Ansarallah calls for open borders to allow fighters into battle</strong></p><p>As part of Yemen’s support front, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out 11 operations with hypersonic missiles and drones against Zionist targets in occupied Palestine, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announced.</p><p>In his weekly speech addressing the latest developments regarding the aggression on the Gaza Strip, as well as international and regional events, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that since Yemen began its operations in support of Gaza, a total of 1,679 operations have been carried out, in which a myriad of missiles, drones, and USVs were deployed.</p><p>Furthermore, he reiterated the movement’s commitment to strengthening its military capabilities, vowing that future actions would be “more effective in punishing and pressuring the Zionist enemy.”</p><p>The Yemeni Resistance leader also noted that the maritime blockade on the occupation remains in place, asserting that the port of Umm al-Rashrash, in southern occupied Palestine, has once again been completely shut down as a result.</p><p><strong>Open borders for Yemenis</strong></p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi renewed his appeal to the governments of countries geographically located between Yemen and Palestine to “open passageways for our people,” so that Yemenis mobilize in the hundreds of thousands in support of Gaza.</p><p>“Opening those corridors is something we wish for and continue to pursue,” he added.</p><p><strong>Calls for unprecedented turnout</strong></p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi called for an “unprecedented” mass mobilization across Yemen on Friday, urging the public for a massive turnout in a show of solidarity with Gaza. “This must be a historic turnout,” he said, “especially in light of the disgraceful silence and complicity of most Islamic governments.”</p><p>He affirmed that Yemen’s position remains unchanged despite US, British, and Zionist aggression and that economic warfare, siege, and media campaigns have failed to weaken the resolve of the Yemeni people.</p><p><strong>‘Shameful Silence’ amid Gaza famine</strong></p><p>Addressing the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the Yemeni Resistance leader criticized international organizations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for what he described as a “shameful” failure to act.</p><p>“With Gaza under siege and famine spreading, it is a huge disgrace that the international community and Islamic institutions remain inactive,” he said.</p><p>Sayyed al-Houthi added that Palestinians in Gaza feel abandoned not only by the international community but first and foremost by Arab and Muslim countries. “The responsibility lies with them before anyone else,” he concluded.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=20542" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">20542</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pij/" target="_blank">#pij</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Understanding Yemen 2/2: Ansar Allah Values</strong></p><p></p><p>To understand how Ansar Allah-led Yemen defeated an apparently superior military force, led by Washington, and then directly confronted the Israelis and their sponsors in the Red Sea, we should return to the values and ideology of the movement.</p><p>Ansar Allah ideology comes from the Quranic Project of Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houhti, who was killed in 2004 during the six northern wars, carried out by the late President Saleh, following a green light from US President George W. Bush (Root 2013), as part of his “war on terror”; even though Saleh himself had been linked to Al-Qaeda (Jordan 2015). This Quranic Project shares values with many independence movements, some with the Iranian Revolution, along with some of its own distinct features.</p><p>Ansar Allah is a movement, not a party like Hezbollah. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SRC), said, “The revolution is every member within the … Yemeni fabric who rejects corruption and … upholds values and freedom, rejects tyranny, guardianship, invasion and occupation and resists aggression, siege and blind subservience” (Almahfali and Root 2020; Sputnik Arabic 2018). The Yemeni people “are a people who reject injustice, humiliation, subjugation, arrogance and conceit. They are a people who, by nature, carry within their culture and awareness a revolutionary sense … [they] have always rallied and moved with those who reject colonialism … those who stand with the invader are rejected and denounced and remain agents and mercenaries in the eyes of the popular majority” (Sputnik Arabic 2018).</p><p>This movement grew with a charismatic leader, Sayyed Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, but it is not a personality cult. Sayyed al-Houthi “had a leadership personality, everyone that knew him loved him,” said Abdulkareem Jadban, an MP from Saada. “He urged people to face the [North] American hegemony after 9/11” (Root 2013). His ideas remain important, as should be obvious from the strong growth of Ansar Allah in the 20 years since Hussein’s death.</p><p>We could speak of the values of Ansar Allah under six themes: the defense of an independent nation and culture; Islamism through Quranic values; a culture of resistance in the face of hegemonic attack; clear identification of the enemy; social inclusion and avoidance of war; and the persistence of Yemeni customary law and tribal governance.</p><p>Understandings of these values are particularly important in view of several Western war myths that Ansar Allah are “Houthi rebels” who are “Iran’s proxies” and part of a “Shia crescent” destabilizing the Arabian Peninsula and the region. These myths disguise the revolution of 2011-2014, underline the refusal to recognize the new government in Sanaa, and help bolster UNSC resolutions, which legitimized the dirty war and siege of the country.</p><p>Some of the better Western analyses of Ansar Allah appreciate its local origins and that it has been influenced, but not determined or controlled, by the Iranian revolution (Gordon and Parkinson 2018); and that it builds on nationalist and republican roots which recognize religious traditions and authority (Almahfali and Root 2020). But most tend to turn against the Yemeni revolution for its Islamism and incompatibility with bourgeois liberalism (i.e. Anglo-American corporate rule with a semblance of individual liberties).</p><p>Despite that deep prejudice, there is huge popular interest in how Ansar Allah-led Yemen defeated the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and then came fearlessly to the direct defense of the Palestinian people under attack by the Israelis in Gaza. I suggest the answers to these questions lie in popular support for Ansar Allah values. So what are those values and how are they seen in practice?</p><p>First, as an independence movement, Ansar Allah aims to protect and defend indigenous, inclusive Yemeni culture and values in the face of foreign intervention. This is a common theme of all anti-imperial and anti-colonial movements, including the Islamic Revolution of Iran.</p><p>The defense of independent cultures, values, and nations is a key global theme. We could go further, arguing that the central polemic today is not capitalism versus socialism or liberal democracy versus the rest, but rather a globalist dictatorship versus independent nations. In a supposedly post-colonial era, we still see this struggle for independence across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Arab and Muslim world.</p><p>Anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, and anti-Zionism – counter-hegemonic struggles – are all consequences of this drive for political, economic, and social independence. In Yemen, despite the important national unification of the 1990s, there remained a corrupt regime that collaborated with the imperial power and its agents, making use of sectarian groups to divide and rule the nation.</p><p>Second, Ansar Allah shares with the Iranian Revolution an Islamic foundation of independent values based on the Quran – humility, honor, self-sacrifice, social justice, and social inclusivity – values which inform and sit alongside nationalism, anti-imperialism, and anti-Zionism (Panah 2008: ch.3; Almahfali and Root 2020).</p><p>Ansar Allah, from its Zaydi roots, while recognizing the Prophet’s Holy Family (Ahlul Bayt) and the Sayyed lineage, does not share the Shia doctrine of Twelve Imams (including the Mahdi) nor does it accept the infallibility of Imams (Almahfali and Root 2020). Mandated struggle against the unjust rule is one feature that the Zaydi tradition has in common with the Shia. In the tradition of Zayd ibn Ali, true imams must fight corrupt rulers; but imams are neither divinely ordained nor infallible and this leads to greater jurisprudence in Islamic law, preventing the idea of an imamate or strict religious rule (Almahfali and Root 2020).</p><p>Sayyed Hussein was deeply impressed by Iran’s Khomeini and Lebanon’s Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah because of their firm principles. He said of Khomeini and Nasrallah that, in their application of Islamic values, “we do not notice the doctrinal side,” and so there is room for jurisprudence (Almahfali and Root 2020). So, while the historic sacrifice of Imam Hussein (a central Shia theme) has entered Ansar Allah’s broad Islamic tradition, other more secular or non-doctrinal themes have developed, such as Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s stress on nationalism and social justice.</p><p>Recognizing the legacy of the leader of the Iranian Revolution, Sayyed Hussein said, “Imam Khomeini was a blessing to the Arabs if they had wanted liberation from Israel.” Sayyed Khomeini was “a great leader with a correct vision and a strong people.” It has been said that Iran’s Islamic Revolution both “does and does not” influence Ansar Allah (Almahfali and Root 2020). Ansar Allah extends the Zaydi principle of “commanding what is just and forbidding what is wrong” (Almahfali and Root 2020).</p><p>Importantly, Ansar Allah also parallels Sayyed Khomeini in placing a similar emphasis on a pure Islam of “the downtrodden and humble … the barefooted” [Al-Mustadh’afin] as opposed to what he called “American Islam … the Islam of comfort and luxury … of compromise and ignominy, the Islam of the indolent” (ITF 2014) – following the Quranic declaration (al Qassas 28:5) of “our favour on the oppressed.”</p><p>That responsibility to the oppressed and downtrodden [Al-Mustadh’afin] was fundamental to both Sayyed Khomeini’s initiatives in support of Palestine and to Ansar Allah’s Red Sea operations, after the Resistance’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.</p><p>Nevertheless, Ansar Allah leaders have made it clear that Yemen’s governance is for Yemenis to decide. “There is no Iranian intervention in Yemen. and the Saudis can inspect the missiles [we fire] … they are purely Yemeni made … We reject any sort of foreign intervention either by the Saudis, the Americans, the Egyptians or the Iranians” (Mohamed Ali al-Houthi in Ya Libnan 2015).</p><p>Third, dedicated resistance is a step beyond simple claims of political independence. Resistance is a commitment in the face of a hegemonic attack. Ansar Allah stresses active defense of the nation and culture in the face of those who “occupy our countries and wage war against our religion” (Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi 2001b). That includes the duty toward other oppressed Arab and Muslim peoples, especially the Palestinians. One Ansar Allah leader explained to me: we oppose war, but fighting in self-defense and in defense of the oppressed is both permitted and mandated. This moral obligation to support the oppressed comes before political considerations and helps explain Ansar Allah’s unhesitating confrontation with the Israelis and the Anglo-Americans.</p><p>An Ansar Allah cultural leader explained to me that, historically, the Muslim communities in Yemen’s highlands, farther away from colonial invasions (mainly Zaydi), had maintained a stronger resistance to invading cultures than those (mainly Shafi) on the coast.</p><p>Secular parallels are made to stress the necessity of resistance and social transformation, in defense of indigenous culture. Mohamed Ali al-Houthi said, “The scale of the conspiracy [against Yemen] has pushed the people to engage in a long-term battle until … victory, just as revolutions around the world, including the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, triumphed” (Sputnik Arabic 2018).</p><p>The steadfastness of Ansar Allah has become a thing of legend. They have repeatedly vowed to maintain their support for Gaza even after multiple bombing attacks by the Israelis and the Anglo-Americans (Abdul Malik al-Houthi 2025). Those Red Sea operations have established the Yemeni resistance as an icon for the world (Tuboltsev 2025). Even conservative British bodies recognize that the Yemenis are “diversifying their alliances and deepening their military capabilities, leveraging regional conflicts and pragmatic partnerships to expand their influence beyond the Iranian-led ‘axis of resistance’” (Ardemagni 2024). Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis have rallied in support of these commitments by Ansar Allah leaders (MNA 2025).</p><p>Fourth, clear identification of the enemy is a distinct emphasis in Ansar Allah’s ideology. Sayyed Hussein put this in the context of a world where North Americans elevated former collaborators like Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to the status of ‘enemies’ of the imperial powers, but these were false stories designed to fool people. “Thus they direct people towards imaginary figures and illusory danger.” We are in a “civilizational struggle,” and “the Jews know who really poses a threat to them,” and this is why in Iran they chant “Death to America, death to Israel” (Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi 2001a).</p><p>In this deceptive world, Yemen must clearly identify its enemies, including cultural enemies, so as to empower and focus the masses in their popular struggle. Hussein added we must “train ourselves and our children to carry enmity towards the enemies of God – the Jews and the Christians.” Borrowing from Iran but building its distinct Yemeni character, Hussein railed against the US attempts “to force their culture upon us, to occupy our countries and to wage a war against our religion” (Almahfali and Root 2020).</p><p>While Ansar Allah shares with Iran the slogans “Death to America, Death to Israel”, in their political sense of opposing those regimes, Sayyed Hussein also demanded recognition of the cultural assault from “Jews and Christians”. Has “the Ummah [Islamic community] reached a point where it cannot stand up to the Jews?” he asked. Quoting the Quran (Al Baqarah 2:120), he said, “Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you until you follow their religion” (Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi 2001a). By this, he means they force us to adopt their ideas and terminology.</p><p>Hussein spoke of the need to “train ourselves and our children to carry enmity towards the enemies of God – the Jews and the Christians. Enmity in Islam is positive and important. If you carry genuine enmity towards America and Israel, if the leaders carry genuine enmity, and if Muslims carry genuine enmity, then they will prepare themselves to be able to face the confrontation. But if there is no real enmity then they will not prepare” (Hussein Badr Din al Houthi 2001b).</p><p>The same confusion applies to opposing a particular Israeli regime rather than the usurping entity itself. Hussein said, in his time, they spoke of “Sharon’s government [referring to former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon] but not Israel … Israel is not considered a problem, not even its existence is seen as a problem. So they say Sharon’s government” (Hussein Badr Din al Houthi 2001b).</p><p>The cultural influence of these Western colonial cultures, beyond just the invading occupation projects and the Zionist entity, was therefore part of the enemy that sought to “wage war on our religion.” Hussein decried the colonization of Arabic and Islamic language so that, for example, “jihad” (in its original sense of a holy or spiritual struggle) has been virtually disqualified as an aim (Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi 2001b).</p><p>Fifth, Ansar Allah leaders have stressed their commitment to social inclusion within Yemen and their desire to avoid war. There is much evidence of this. Mohamed Ali al-Houthi said, “Yemen has not fired the first shot in the war … rather it is resisting and will triumph over the richest and strongest countries” (Sputnik Arabic 2018).</p><p>Recall that former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was the one who declared war against Ansar Allah and killed its leader Hussein in 2004. Nevertheless, after the Revolution and until the 2017 betrayal by Saleh, Ansar Allah included him in its Supreme Political Council. Many from the GPC, the main opposition party, are still included in Yemen’s revolutionary government. Others have defected to Ansar Allah from the Muslim Brotherhood. This is another reason why it is absurd to call the Sanaa government “Houthi rebels”.</p><p>Ansar Allah did not simply seize power in 2014; it filled a political vacuum left by the collapse of both Saleh’s regime and his transitional regime, plus the widespread rejection of the repartition proposals from the GCC (Popp 2015).</p><p>After the US-Saudi coalition declared war on the Sanaa Government, Ansar Allah leaders were ready for peace talks in 2015, without conditions. It was the puppet Hadi regime, which made demands that Ansar Allah surrender territory before any talks, which killed that early peace process (Ya Libnan 2015).</p><p>Sixth, the preservation of customary law and tribal governance continues to play an important role in Yemen and has long had a relation to state law, but its composition has changed since the rise of Ansar Allah (Worth 2016).</p><p>Tribal authority and mediation are used for everything from land disputes to justice over violent conflict (Mojalli 2015), and relations between local clan authorities have been a factor in the national war of liberation against the Coalition of Aggression and its sectarian agents.</p><p>It has been said, by some hostile sides to Ansar Allah, that their system of regional supervisors or mushrifin (Carboni 2021; Mugahed 2022) has weakened tribal authority.</p><p>Yet, principles of customary law seem to have remained well incorporated into Yemeni leadership and justice. In this way, traditional authority and many social norms remain embedded in Yemeni Islamic principles. For example, the use of the Yemeni dagger (jambiya) is regulated by both traditional and state law. It is often displayed, but there are penalties for withdrawing it or making threats with it.</p><p>In sum, Ansar Allah is a genuine, Indigenous Yemeni movement that led the only real and successful revolution of the so-called “Arab Spring”. It has been subject to dirty war and siege by Washington and its allies precisely because it is an independent movement. The Yemeni Revolution shares many values with the Iranian Revolution but remains a distinct revolutionary force and a key addition to the regional resistance, especially since the collapse of Damascus. The strength of the revolutionary government in Sanaa and its commitment to the Palestinians can best be appreciated through an understanding of the unique mix of Ansar Allah values and their mass support in Yemen.</p><p><strong>For part 1/2: <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/opinion/understanding-yemen-1-2--the-revolution" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Understanding Yemen 1/2: The Revolution</a></strong></p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p>Abdul Malik al-Houthi, (2025) ‘Ansar Allah leader says US war failed to stop Yemen, reaffirms support for Palestine’, The Cradle, 8 May, online:&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/ansarallah-leader-says-us-war-failed-to-stop-yemen-reaffirms-support-for-palestine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thecradle.co/articles/Ansar Allah-leader-says-us-war-failed-to-stop-yemen-reaffirms-support-for-palestine</a></p><p>Ahmed, Omar (2021) ‘Why Yemen’s was the only real revolution, post-Arab Spring’, Middle East Monitor, 12 November, online:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20211112-why-yemens-was-the-only-real-revolution-post-arab-spring/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20211112-why-yemens-was-the-only-real-revolution-post-arab-spring/</a></p><p>al-Fasly, Mahmoud Sagheer (2015) ‘Witnessing the Yemeni Revolution’ in Voices of the Arab Spring, Columbia University Press, online:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.7312/alsa16318-037/html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.7312/alsa16318-037/html</a></p><p>Al Hadaa, Karima (2017) ‘The Dynamics of the Houthi-GPC alliance’, The Yemen peace project, 2 June, online:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.yemenpeaceproject.org/blog-x/houthi-gpc-alliance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.yemenpeaceproject.org/blog-x/houthi-gpc-alliance</a></p><p>Almahfali, Mohammed and James Root (2020) ‘How Iran’s Islamic Revolution does, and does not, influence Houthi rule in Northern Yemen’, Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies, 13 February, online:&nbsp;<a href="https://sanaacenter.org/publications/analysis/9050" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://sanaacenter.org/publications/analysis/9050</a></p><p>al-Qarawi, Hisham (2011) The Yemeni Revolution: replacing Ali Abdullah Saleh, or replacing obsolete institutions?, Arab Center for Research &amp;

The operation followed the ship owner’s violation of a directive issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces, which bans vessels from entering ports in occupied Palestine.</p><p>The released footage shows the ship’s crew ignoring repeated warnings issued by Yemen’s naval forces. It captures the precise moment the Magic Seas was struck by unmanned naval boats, followed by a boarding operation carried out by Yemeni naval special forces, leading to the complete submersion of the vessel.</p><p><strong>Red Sea naval operation involved missiles, drones, and unmanned boats</strong></p><p>According to a statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces, the complex operation involved two unmanned boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles, and three drones. The strike achieved a direct hit, resulting in the full sinking of the Magic Seas in the Red Sea.</p><p></p><p></p><p>The action is part of Yemen’s broader military campaign in support of Gaza, aimed at ending the Zionist aggression and lifting the blockade. The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to defending Palestinian rights and stated they are fully prepared to respond to future developments in the region.</p><p><strong>Resistance sinks Eternity C ship in second operation</strong></p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday the execution of a naval military operation that targeted the cargo ship <em>ETERNITY C</em> as it made its way to the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat). The attack was carried out using a drone boat and six cruise missiles.</p><p>According to a statement by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, the ship disregarded repeated warnings from the Yemeni navy prohibiting entry into ports of occupied Palestine. As a result, the vessel was struck and subsequently sank.</p><p><strong>Ship targeted after repeatedly ignoring warnings</strong></p><p>The statement confirmed that members of the ship’s crew were rescued, given medical care, and transferred to a safe location. The operation was fully documented with audio and video footage.</p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces described the operation as part of their ongoing efforts to support the Palestinian people and their resistance, emphasizing that they will continue to disrupt Zionist maritime traffic in the Red and Arabian seas.</p><p></p><p><strong>Second ship sunk in days as operations escalate</strong></p><p>The statement also reasserted that the stance of Sana’a is aimed at forcing the Zionist entity and its allies to lift the siege on Gaza and halt their aggression.
