The Chief of the General Staff of the Yemeni Armed Forces has sent a message of condolence to Hamas and the Palestinian people following the martyrdom of a group of senior commanders of the Qassam Brigades.

Why it matters:

The message affirms Yemen’s unwavering alignment with the Axis of Resistance and emphasizes the cohesion and interconnectedness of the resistance fronts.

What he’s saying:

  • Major General Yousef HassanAl Madani described the martyed Qassam commanders as figures who “spent their lives confronting tyrants and engaging criminals across every arena of battle.”
  • He said Yemen shares the grief of Hamas and the Palestinian people, stressing that “their loss is our loss.”
     
  • The Yemeni official praised the commanders’ actions as having “shattered the arrogance of the Zionist entity” and symbolizing sacrifice and dedication.
     
  • He pointed out to Israel's violating truces and ceasefires by carrying out assassinations, calling such acts proof of “inability to confront on the battlefield.”
     
  • Al Madani reaffirmed that the Yemeni Armed Forces would continue to support the Palestinian people and what he described as their “valiant resistance.”


The big picture:

The statement comes amid ongoing Israeli hostilities in Gaza, targeted killings of Resistance leaders, and heightened regional polarization, with armed groups and allied governments issuing strong declarations of solidarity with Palestine.
