YAF Chief to al-Qassam: We Will Stand by you No Matter the Sacrifices
The Yemeni Armed Forces’ Chief of Staff, Major General Youssef al-Madani, thanked the al-Qassam Brigades for their condolences over the late Chief of Staff Mohammad al-Ghamari and vowed to stand by Gaza and Palestine should the Zionist regime relaunch its war on the Strip.
In a statement published by the Yemeni Military Media, the YAF Chief of Staff stated, “We received with the utmost appreciation and profound gratitude your kind condolences, in which you expressed your sincere feelings and fraternal sympathies on the martyrdom of the Chairman of the General Staff, Major General Mohammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, May God be pleased with him.”
“We received your words, of utmost loyalty and sincerity, with great pride, as they embody the depth of the faithful and jihadi bonds that unite us, which are founded on a unity of purpose and destiny in confronting the Zionist enemy and its aggressive projects,” he added.
The Major General praised the al-Qassam Brigades, telling them they have shown the world the ultimate example of Islamic resilience, emphasizing that their struggle is powerful proof of Islam’s greatness and that their faith does not allow for defeat.
YAF chief of staff vows vigilance against the Zionist regime
He stated that through their faith, the Brigade’s fighters have defeated an enemy that was far superior in terms of technology, wealth, and arsenal, astonishing the world with their resolve. Al-Madani lauded how their steadfastness has forced their overconfident enemies, who were once focused on eliminating them, to resort to negotiations.The Yemeni Major General, Youssef al-Madani, affirmed to the al-Qassam Brigades that they stand with them in solidarity, sharing their joy of victory and mourning their losses, pledging an unwavering commitment to their shared cause and vowing to stand by their side no matter the sacrifices.
He issued a clear warning, stating that the Yemeni Armed Forces are closely monitoring the situation and that if the occupation resumes its aggression on Gaza, Yemen will restart military operations reaching the depth of the Zionist entity and reimpose a ban on Zionist navigation in both the Red Sea and Arabian seas.
YAF reshuffles its command after martyrdom of Major General al-Ghamari
Major General Youssef Hassan al-Madani has been named Chief of the General Staff of the Yemeni Armed Forces following the martyrdom of his predecessor, Major General Mohammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, who succumbed to wounds sustained in a Zionist aggression on the country.
Al-Madani, a seasoned commander with years of frontline experience, has long played a central role in overseeing operations and shaping the group’s military strategies. His appointment signals a continuation of Yemen’s existing military posture, particularly regarding regional issues and the ongoing situation in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces are seen as key actors in the regional Axis of Resistance, with their role in the war on Gaza described as one of active solidarity. During the recent Zionist war on Gaza, Ansar Allah launched multiple operations targeting Zionist-linked commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, which disrupted international maritime traffic and drew global attention.
Additionally, the YAF regularly launched operations against the occupation, using both advanced drones and ballistic missiles to attack key targets in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the Ben Gurion International Airport, which became a frequent target, and other significant military and economic facilities.

Yemen ‘Inevitably’ Headed Toward New Round Against Zionist Regime: Houthi
Leader of the Ansarallah resistance movement Abdul Malik al-Houthi said in a speech on 4 November that Yemen has “emerged stronger” after two years of war with the Zionist entity, warning that a “new” and “full-scale” confrontation will “inevitably” erupt at some point.
“We emerged from this round stronger than before on all levels and we are inevitably heading into a new round of confrontation with the enemy,” Houthi said.
“We are inevitably heading toward a full-scale confrontation with the enemy, because stability will not remain in the region so long as the occupation continues in Palestine,” the Yemeni leader added.
Houthi went on to say that “this enemy is dangerous, evil, and criminal.”
The resistance leader rejected Zionist-backed efforts to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon, and condemned Tel Aviv’s violations of the new ceasefire in Gaza.
He added that the US is a “partner” to all of the occupation’s crimes. “Unfortunately, the [Arab] nation has chosen a position of helplessness.”
The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), which is merged with Ansarallah, was among the first to open a front against Israel at the start of the genocide in Gaza following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023.
The YAF and Ansarallah carried out scores of successful missile and drone strikes against Zionist targets, and opened up a naval front that decimated global shipping and Zionist maritime interests over the past two years.
Yemen also faced a deadly US military campaign, which began under former US president Joe Biden and was renewed under President Donald Trump. This, along with scores of brutal Zionist airstrikes on the country, failed to impact Sanaa’s military capabilities.
The Yemeni operations have come to a halt following the Gaza ceasefire. However, Yemeni President Mahdi al-Mashat vowed that the country will remain “vigilant.”
Sanaa has also vowed to continue enhancing its military capabilities.
Tel Aviv is reportedly considering renewing attacks on Yemen despite Sanaa’s forces halting strikes on Israel after the Gaza ceasefire.
Hebrew news outlet Channel 12 reported last month that “intense discussions within the security establishment recently led to separating the Yemen front from that of Gaza, allowing military action against Yemen to continue post-ceasefire.”

Al-Aqsa Flood… Two Years of Legendary Steadfastness and Confrontation
Today marks the second anniversary of the blessed Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, October 7th, the day of the glorious crossing, the day when the sons of Palestine, the sons of our valiant resistance, drew the first line on the path to the freedom of Palestine.
The second anniversary of the glorious crossing passes, and the battle is still ongoing, with its continuous repercussions casting political and military shadows over the region and the area, having constituted a major turning point in the political and military landscape of the region.
Two years, and the enemy continues its brutal war against our steadfast Palestinian people and its massacres against unarmed civilians, amidst shameful international silence and complicity, and unprecedented Arab abandonment.
Two years of pain, injustice, oppression, great suffering, and immense sacrifices, while the resistance’s eye looks toward the freedom of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine, all of Palestine.
Two years of popular steadfastness, rallying around the resistance, and the heroism of the sons and owners of the land, in the face of the land’s occupying strangers, the riff-raff.
Two years, and our people remain rooted in their land, adhering to their legitimate rights, in the face of plans for liquidation and forced displacement.
Two years, during which our people have offered a large constellation of their sons and leaders as martyrs on the path to freedom, led alongside the sons of our people by the leaders of the valiant resistance, foremost among them the martyred leaders: the great martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the great Flood, the martyr Yahya Sinwar, Saleh Al-Arouri, Mohammed Deif, and other great martyrs on the path to freedom.
Two years of legendary resilience and steadfastness by the valiant Palestinian resistance, in the face of the most severe settler-colonial occupation known to humanity.
Two years, and the banner of our people has not fallen; two years, and the fortresses have not been breached, nor have our positions been seized from us.
Two years, and our people wield their legitimate weapon in defense of their constants and national rights, in the face of zionist oppression and arrogance.
Two years, and beyond, steadfastness upon steadfastness. Two years, and our people are rooted in their land, rallying around their resistance, adhering to their national constants, and their right to self-determination, far from illegitimate guardianship projects, with their eye looking toward Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine, all of Palestine.
Two years, and we carry Gaza, and Palestine, all of Palestine, with its great people, their pain, their oppression, their suffering, and their hopes, in our minds and hearts, and above our heads, moving forward with it toward the precincts of Noble Jerusalem and the Blessed Al-Aqsa.

Two years since the most horrific war of genocide in history, committed by the zionazi enemy against our people amid the failure and silence of the hypocritical international community. Despite the pain, wounds, great sacrifices, the brutality of the massacres, and the unprecedented war throughout history, the criminal zionist enemy and its allies have failed to achieve their declared goals, most notably eliminating the resistance and forcibly recovering the zionist captives.
On the second anniversary of the immortal Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, we express our pride in the legendary epic written by our great people in the Gaza Strip. This steadfastness served as the rock upon which all the malicious plans and conspiracies of the zionist enemy were shattered.
The Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, which began on October 7th and is still ongoing, constituted a historical milestone in our resistance project. It was a natural response to the zionist schemes targeting our national cause and contributed to the collapse of all the lies and black propaganda marketed by the zionist entity and its criminal leaders. What happened in the United Nations hall during the speech of war criminal Netanyahu is clear evidence of this.
The option of resistance in all its forms will remain the only way to confront the usurping zionist enemy. No one has the right or is permitted to relinquish the weapon of the Palestinian people—this legitimate weapon guaranteed by all international laws and covenants—which Palestinian generations will inherit generation after generation until the liberation of their land and holy sites, and the achievement of freedom and their legitimate rights, regardless of the magnitude of the sacrifices and costs.
On this glorious anniversary, we call upon the Arab and Islamic masses to take the initiative and go out into the streets and squares in all capitals and cities in support of Palestine and the resistance, in solidarity with our people, and in rejection of the crimes of genocide and the holocaust committed by the zionist machine of oppression.
We extend greetings to all fronts of support in the great struggling Yemen, the resistance of Lebanon, the authenticity of Iraq, and the heroism and courage of Iran for their steadfast, principled, and epic stances. We also extend greetings to the souls of the great martyrs, foremost among them Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, and Commanders Mohammad Bagheri, Hossein Salami, Gholam Ali Rashid, Mohammad Saeed Izadi, and all the martyrs who ascended in all arenas and fronts of confrontation, support, and assistance.
We pray for the souls of the leaders of the Flood and the planners of this great heroic epic, foremost among them the great leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohammed Deif, and a long list of our people’s leaders and national symbols from all Palestinian resistance factions, whose heroism and biographies history will write in letters of light.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Two years have passed since the Zionist holocaust and extermination that our people are subjected to under unprecedented international silence and hypocrisy, during which the Zionist entity has proven itself to be a cancerous gland spreading death, destruction, and killing wherever it is found, and that it is an entity based on crimes and terrorism that embodies absolute evil and knows only blood and aggression, with no solution for humanity except its eradication.
On the second anniversary of the Battle of the Al-Aqsa Flood and the Great Crossing on October 7, we affirm that this battle represented a major turning point in the path of resistance and our Palestinian people, as it was a decisive station in the history of the conflict with the Zionist entity, striking at the arrogance of haughtiness, breaking its security, military, and political systems, and shattering the myth of the invincible Zionist army.
The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood and the epic steadfastness of our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip represented a major turning point, as it restored the spirit of the great Egyptian crossing on October 6, 1973, and once again proved the ability of Arab fighters to break all forms of modern technological superiority and make sacrifices, rebuilding spirit, pride, and dignity among all nations.
The international isolation faced by the Zionist entity confirms that the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood formed a revolution in global awareness, awakening the consciences of free people, and will have major strategic consequences in favor of the Palestinian cause after dismantling Zionist narratives and revealing the true face of the racist fascist Zionist entity and its leaders, which can no longer hide behind false claims.
The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood has proven with conclusive evidence that the Zionist enemy is an enemy of all nations, and confronting it and countering its expansionist plans has become an urgent necessity and priority for all nations’ peoples and all free people around the world.
The direct American green light through political support, military aid, and diplomatic cover proves that America is responsible for every drop of blood shed, every child killed, every family buried under rubble. It also proves that America supports and encourages Zionism to continue committing atrocities without any deterrents.
We call for an immediate agreement on a comprehensive national strategy to confront all plots against our people’s cause. What our people face requires quickly closing ranks on differences to prioritize national interests. We must adopt a unified strategy to defend our nation’s existence.We affirm that confrontation through resistance is crucial for countering Zionist crimes; therefore any talk about disarming Palestinians aims at legitimizing Zionism’s existence. No one should discuss disarming us because Palestine will only be liberated through resistance.
We salute with pride those who resist across Lebanon’s frontlines as well as Yemenis’, Iraqis’, Iranians’, these fronts draw new equations today shattering illusions held by Netanyahu’s terrorist regime confirming unity among nations holds power over Zionists’ ambitions.
It is upon us now more than ever before – we shall honor fallen heroes holding onto their legacy keeping up fight until final victory eradicating Israeli occupation forevermore.
Resistance committees
Tuesday 13 Rabi al-Thani 1445 AH corresponding to October 7 2025 CE
O masses of our patient and steadfast Palestinian people, today marks the second anniversary of the heroic Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, coinciding with the thirty-eighth annual anniversary of our blessed jihadist launch, which marked a pivotal stage in the history of the struggle against the Zionist enemy. In it, the Palestinian resistance wrote one of the greatest battles against Nazism and Zionist oppression of our people over decades. The enemy practiced all forms of killing, destruction, and displacement against our people everywhere in blessed Al-Quds, the occupied West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. It bombed, besieged, and starved, recording the worst massacre and tragedy throughout the ages, witnessed silently by the watching world.
Two years ago, the Palestinian resistance carried out a blessed operation against enemy army sites along the disappearing fence east of the Gaza Strip. Our heroic fighters wrote magnificent scenes of bravery, courage, and sacrifice, capturing a large number of soldier and commander prisoners. They engaged in direct clashes from zero point, during which our fighters killed hundreds of enemy soldiers and captured dozens. Our resistance presented convoys of its best fighters as martyrs, wounded, and prisoners.
Since that date, our resistance has continued to confront this criminal, murderous enemy, which declared a mad and deadly war of mass killing of tens of thousands of unarmed citizens in Gaza, mostly children, women, and elderly, but it found no way to undermine the determination of our steadfast, deeply rooted people holding on to their land and homeland.
For two years of fighting, the resistance has sought to stop this war and alleviate the suffering of our people, offering all necessary flexibility to conclude an agreement whose sole condition is to guarantee the cessation of war and lifting the siege on our people. However, Netanyahu’s government continued the war to achieve the goals of its extremist coalition.
Two years since the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, we continue to face the enemy army’s divisions, brigades, and battalions, which destroy homes, streets, and buildings in Gaza. We confront its forces and inflict losses in the longest battle with this enemy since the establishment of its temporary entity. We have presented hundreds of fighters and leaders as martyrs who were at the forefront of tens of thousands of our Palestinian people during two years of fierce fighting and unparalleled steadfastness with minimal resources on the path to Al-Quds and to liberation. This battle witnessed great steadfastness by our resistance, preventing the enemy from achieving its declared goals.
We, in the Al-Quds Brigades, on the second anniversary of the blessed Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, affirm the following:
1- Our people’s resistance, led by the Al-Quds Brigades and Al-Qassam Brigades, continues as long as the occupation exists, and will spare no effort in fighting it. We have prepared ourselves for a long attrition war that will not stop or retreat except with its demise.
2- The fate of the so-called “Gideon’s Chariots 2” operation, which carries out systematic destruction, mass killing, and psychological terrorism against our people, will only be more disappointment, defeat, and collapse.
3- We affirm that we and all Palestinian resistance factions will spare no effort to find a way to end this war and the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip, and we have sought to achieve this for many months.
4- We affirm that enemy prisoners will only see the light through an honorable exchange deal in which the Zionist entity commits to ending the war, and any other way will not bring them back.
5- We renew the affirmation that the resistance’s weapon is a weapon found to liberate the land and fight the enemy and will not be sheathed except by achieving these two goals.
6- We salute our blessed brigades in the occupied West Bank, which were an integral part of this battle. Salute to the Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, and Tubas brigades and all the resistors, and we call on them to escalate the confrontation and continue striking this enemy with all strength and capability.7- We salute the souls of the Jordanian fedayeen and the heroes of the siege-breaking fleets and boats, and the free people of the world who support and advocate for our cause against American-Zionist arrogance and crime.
8- We salute our heroic prisoners in the Zionist torture and oppression prisons, hold their hands tightly, and know that the enemy’s policy is harsh against them, but we promise them that freedom is near and relief is inevitably coming.
9- We send a great salute to the brothers in arms and blood in Hezbollah, who have been an important and great support for us and have presented their best leaders and fighters in this blessed battle, foremost among them His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
10- We send a salute to our brothers in Yemen of dignity and pride, especially our brothers in the Ansar Allah movement, the true helpers and supporters who continue to strike the Zionist entity with rockets, drones, and explosive boats in support of Gaza and its people for two years.
11- We salute the brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran who were direct partners in this battle through three direct confrontations with the enemy, during which they presented a great group of martyr scholars and senior leaders. Among them, we remember the martyr of Palestine, Al-Hajj Ramadan, who was an integral part of all our preparations to confront this usurping entity.
“Our jihad continues and our fighting goes on until Jerusalem, God willing”
— Statement by the Popular Front for the Liberation of PalestineThe October 7 operation formed a strategic turning point that changed the equations of conflict and returned the Palestinian cause to the heart of global awareness. It proved that free will can shake arrogant power systems no matter how technically superior they may be. It exposed the fragility of the Zionist entity in front of fighters with solid determination and faith in the justice of their cause.
The battle transcended its military dimension to confirm that resistance is a fixed approach and that peoples who cling to their rights are capable of breaking fear barriers and remaking history.
However, the Zionist response, directly supported by American imperialism and Western lobbies, was not just a military attack but a blatant embodiment of organized state terrorism as a colonial tool par excellence. In Gaza, humanity witnessed systematic extermination unseen for decades, not only in terms of brutality but also in terms of colonial mentality that justifies starvation as a weapon, siege as a tool for collective strangulation, and destruction of vital infrastructure as part of an organized extermination project. Hospitals, schools, universities, water sources, and electricity were not only targeted but homes were razed over their inhabitants’ heads. Basic life necessities were lost, hundreds of thousands were displaced repeatedly. All this reveals the true face of colonialism – “a system that sees Palestinian human life as an obstacle to dominance.”
The joining of Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, and Iraqi resistance forces to support Gaza reflects unity in destiny and depth in solidarity. This confirms Palestine is not alone against occupation. Lebanese and Yemeni resistance has proven its ability for continuous confrontation. Despite immense sacrifices, resistance proves it’s a path for unifying Arab peoples and restoring their dignity.
Unprecedented global mobilization against occupation has shown international pressure on US administration leaders can restore human moral compass towards Palestine.
Palestinian flags waving worldwide during massive marches symbolize great symbolic achievement giving back attention to an issue occupation tried erasing.
We at PFLP affirm:
1. We proudly salute our heroic martyrs especially leaders & fighters whose blood mixed confirming Gaza’s resilience & greet prisoners & wounded affirming sacrifices remain eternal source pride inspiration
2. October 7 marked crucial station continuing struggle since occupation began responding naturally ongoing crimes against Gaza West Bank Jerusalem
3. Under intensified war crimes particularly Gaza we prioritize reaching comprehensive immediate ceasefire lifting siege introducing aid rebuilding
In conclusion, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms, on this immortal anniversary and in light of the ongoing Zionist war of extermination, that our people’s steadfastness and the legitimacy of their cause will remain firm and unwavering, that the blood of martyrs and heroes’ determination are our guiding light on the path towards return and freedom. Our free people’s voice will remain louder than all Zionist killing machines. We affirm that Palestine will return to its original inhabitants sooner or later from its river to its sea thanks to its sons’ resistance and sacrifices as well as solidarity from free people around the world.

Yemen, Sanaa
President Mahdi al-Mashat:
— The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation was a legitimate response to decades of injustice, criminality, and killing by the Zionist entity, and it embodied the right of self-defense guaranteed by all religious teachings and laws.
— The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation was a historic declaration of the victory of a people who refused to be buried alive, proving their rightful hold and attachment to their land and holy sites.
— The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation represented a strategic change in the Palestinian landscape and a turning point in the conflict with the Zionist enemy.
— The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation came to thwart projects to Judaize Jerusalem and to liquidate the cause, obstructed the path to “normalization,” and proved to the world that the Palestine cause will not die as long as there are mujahideen in it.
— On October 7, the Palestinians regained their dignity and, through their heroism, broke the myth of the invincible army and exposed the weakness of its intelligence.
— On the anniversary of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” we affirm that confronting the Zionist enemy is not just one option among others, but the only way to recover rights from an occupier that understands only the language of force.
— Over the past two years, the Palestinian mujahideen have written a new legend of patience and steadfastness, and with their pure souls have composed the greatest epics of heroism in the modern era.
— Palestine will remain a central cause in Arab and Islamic conscience, its roots running deep in history and sentiment.
— We reaffirm our principled stance in supporting the Palestinian people until the aggression stops, the siege is lifted, and they obtain their full rights.
— We bow our heads in reverence to the people of Palestine, who every day create the miracle of steadfastness in the face of a brutal extermination machine and an unprecedented policy of starvation.
— We commend the Palestinian people’s rallying around their resistance and their steadfast support for it during two years of the battle.
— We affirm that unconditional American support at all levels constitutes full participation in the genocidal crimes committed by the Zionist enemy entity.
— The Zionist scheme aims to erase Arab and Islamic identity in the Arab region; it continues its blatant aggression against Lebanon and Syria and will only be deterred by our unity in confronting it.
— We praise the sacrifices of all free and honorable people who stood with the oppressed Palestinian people, foremost among them Hezbollah, the Iraqi freedom fighters, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On the second anniversary of the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood battle, the battle of sacrifice, liberation, will, and steadfastness, the battle confronting injustice, occupation, and defending the sanctities and dignity, Hezbollah renews its pledge that it stands with the resistant and steadfast people of Palestine, who have inscribed with their steadfastness and patience mixed with tragedies and pains the highest lessons of pride and dignity in the face of the most brutal Israeli criminal entity, managed by a brutal American administration, and before a submissive, shackled world that watches massacres, killings, and destruction without moving a muscle.
This sacred battle has revealed from its first moment the true face of the criminal Zionist entity, stripped of any human attribute, supported by the arrogant American tyrant, trampling on all laws, international resolutions, and humanitarian considerations, violating the sovereignty of states by attacking them and their peoples, deeply involved in committing massacres, genocide, and waging a war of starvation and displacement against the people of Gaza, openly revealing its expansionist and aggressive plans.
The security, stability, and future of the region depend on the unity of stance and word, cooperation among Arab and Islamic countries and their peoples, and the consolidation of ranks in support of the resistance and its choice, translating positions rejecting the Israeli aggression into actions that deter this enemy who understands only the language of strength and confrontation. This nation must realize that this entity is a dagger planted in its heart, a malignant cancerous tumor that must be excised before it spreads and leads wherever it settles to destruction and ruin.
We in Hezbollah and its Islamic resistance, following the path of the master of the nation’s martyrs, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may God be pleased with him), his companion Al-Hashemi (may God be pleased with him), and the martyrs, continue to preserve the trust of the resistance and the blood of the martyrs. On this anniversary, we send a salute of reverence and respect to the righteous leader martyrs and all the martyrs who ascended on the path to Jerusalem, to the wounded and prisoners, and to all who stood, supported, and sacrificed for Jerusalem and Palestine.
Salute to the free and steadfast people of Palestine, rooted in their land, who faced the Zionist killing machine with bare chests. Salute to the hungry children of Gaza, the bereaved mothers, and the free hearts embracing hope for imminent relief.
Salute to the Palestinian resistance in all its factions, to the brave fighters who have been waging for two years the sacred defense battle for Jerusalem and the nation, confronting the fiercest tyrants on earth in an epic saga.
Salute to all who supported and aided Gaza and its people, to the Islamic Republic of Iran, led by Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei (may his shadow last), and to its people, government, and security and military forces. To proud Yemen, its leadership and people, and its valiant military forces. To Iraq, with its resistance, religious authority, people, and government. We also salute the free peoples of the world who raised the voice of Palestine loudly and conveyed to the world the cries and pains of the children and women of Gaza.
This great historic occasion will remain immortal in history, about a people who revolted against the occupier who usurped their land, fought, sacrificed, and persevered, and by God’s permission will triumph, for they deserve victory, and Palestine will return whole to its people, despite all conspirators, normalizers, and deserters. This is a divine promise, and God does not break His promise.

Yemen Rises as the Decisive Front in the US-Zionist Bid for Regional Control
Since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023, Yemen’s Ansarallah-aligned armed forces have transformed the Red Sea into a pressure point against Tel Aviv and Washington, extending operations to the Mediterranean and disrupting both Israeli and US interests.
The failure of the US to dismantle Yemen’s support front led to a temporary agreement with Sanaa to halt attacks on American assets, while the Yemeni naval blockade of Israeli vessels and attacks inside occupied territories persisted.
This failure prompted the concerned parties to adopt a new strategy to penetrate the Yemeni front, with uncalculated military, security, and intelligence dimensions, turning Yemen into a decisive theater in redrawing the maps of regional power.
Tel Aviv’s war comes home
With the UAE as the lead architect, this campaign leverages normalization as both cover and conduit for Israeli infiltration. Emirati-led factions, most prominently the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), have aligned with this agenda. STC leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi has openly courted Tel Aviv, offering normalization in exchange for support for southern secession.
Israeli media reports reveal Abu Dhabi’s involvement in the assassinations of high-ranking Sanaa officials, including the assassination of Yemeni prime minister Ahmed al-Rahawi on 10 September and the June 2025 attempt on General Staff Chief Mohammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari.
Sources tell The Cradle that Zubaidi has privately expressed readiness to normalize ties if Washington greenlights the project. That green light appears to be flickering: joint meetings, delegation visits, and media campaigns from STC-aligned figures are pushing overt coordination with Israel into public view.
This dynamic was embodied in July 2025, when a delegation from the Middle East Forum that included British-Israeli journalist Jonathan Spire and American researcher Michael Rubin visited the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government’s interim capital, Aden.
The delegation met with the Minister of Defense in the Aden government, Mohsen al-Daeri, in addition to leaders from the STC, including the head of intelligence in the council. The Jerusalem Post confirmed that the meetings revealed the council’s readiness for military action in the Bab al-Mandab Strait as soon as western approval is obtained, with financial and military support.
In parallel, a media normalization campaign led by journalists loyal to the STC, most notably Mana Suleiman, called on the i24 channel to intensify strikes against Ansarallah forces.
Emirati-Israeli militarism entrenches in Yemen
Between 2023 and 2025, the UAE – with Israeli backing – has entrenched itself across southern Yemen. Satellite imagery confirms the construction of advanced air bases, intelligence platforms, and logistical hubs in Shabwah, Socotra, Zuqar, and Abd al-Kuri islands.
Private sources tell The Cradle that this expansion on the southern coast and strategic islands has become evident on the ground, and creates multiple risks – most notably, destabilizing the Yemeni interior and the transformation of the islands into intelligence and logistical platforms that extend from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, passing through Bab al-Mandab.
The work is carried out through the presence of Israeli officers on the ground, while the UAE uses radars and military devices to monitor Yemeni forces and control maritime movements, and the two sides coordinate operations through the “Crystal Ball” – a joint UAE-Israeli intelligence exchange platform.
The islands have been transformed into integrated platforms that include military, intelligence, and economic infrastructure, making them a gateway to dominate sea lanes and control shipping lanes between Asia and Africa. In the heart of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital artery for global trade and energy transmission, the islands of Mayun and Zuqar stand out as key strategic points.
After October 2023, the UAE strengthened its presence on Mayun Island with the direct support of Israel, repaving a 1.85-kilometer runway and now hosts Israeli-run radar systems, Patriot batteries, drone hangars, and naval observation posts.
Mayun Island has been turned into a permanent military center and a secret station for the transit and maintenance of commercial and warships.
Operations fees from commercial and military vessels transiting this chokepoint, reportedly ranging from $80,000 to $200,000, are funneled through UAE accounts in Dubai, entirely bypassing Yemeni or international oversight.
Specialized companies, such as Janes Information Group, which have installed advanced monitoring and interception systems from Israeli companies, appear in the cooperation.
Zuqar Island, located just 75 kilometers from Hodeidah and 210 kilometers from Sanaa, has become a joint Israeli-US-Emirati operations center. By early 2025, US Central Command (CENTCOM) had integrated into this hub, with Unit 400 – a UAE force trained under a counterterrorism pretext – activated to suppress Sanaa’s influence. Surveillance, interception, and drone coordination systems now anchor the island’s role in anti-Yemeni warfare.
By September 2025, satellite imagery revealed the expansion of the facilities, including satellite-linked operations and communications rooms, making the island a vessel observation and maintenance platform equipped with Israeli electronic interception and monitoring systems.
The Socotra archipelago is a strategic point that allows control over the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, southern Red Sea, northern Indian Ocean, southern Arabian Peninsula, and Horn of Africa.
Abd al-Kuri and Samha islands have been converted into launchpads for drones and naval systems. The UAE, under humanitarian pretenses, uses the Emirates Red Crescent to build detention sites, intelligence posts, and private marinas.
Shabwah, a governorate rich in oil and linking Yemen’s south to the interior, now hosts two UAE-built runways, tunnel networks, and drone training centers. Colombian mercenaries, contracted at $3,590 per head, have been deployed to train local factions.
On the home front, Shabwa has emerged as a strategic destination. Its location, which connects the south to the north and gives it an eastern outlet towards Hadramawt and Al-Mahra, and its proximity to Abyan, Al-Bayda, and Marib, have made it a pivotal target in regional calculations.
In the northwest of the Ataq airport campus, bunkers and control rooms for drones have been built dedicated to accommodation, meetings, training, and ammunition storage, complementing the permanent character of the military structure.
According to sources speaking to The Cradle, joint US-Israeli teams frequently visit frontlines in coalition-controlled governorates to gather intelligence and assess requirements, promising financial, logistical, and armament support to mobilize factions capable of opening an internal front to constrain Sanaa’s military capabilities.
Riyadh joins the fray
Competition between anti-Sanaa coalition partners Riyadh and Abu Dhabi has also intensified across Yemen’s eastern front, particularly in Al-Mahra. As the UAE entrenches its presence in Socotra and seeks demographic control through military, economic, and cultural means, Saudi Arabia expands in Al-Mahra under the guise of counter-smuggling, deploying Salafi-aligned militias and building bases to consolidate influence over this vital corridor.
On 16 September 2025, Saudi Arabia co-hosted a naval security summit with the UK, unveiling a coalition to “protect navigation” in the Red Sea. The international Yemen Maritime Security Partnership saw the participation of more than 35 countries, including the US.
In reality, this front aims to dismantle the Yemeni blockade on Israeli shipping. Riyadh pledged $4 million to arm and train the Yemeni Coast Guard for this mission. In response, Ansarallah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi warned the Saudis against any involvement with Israel, stressing that anyone involved in supporting Israeli ships or attacking Yemen “will be confronted within the framework of our position against the Israeli enemy itself.”
Addressing the Saudi kingdom’s leadership directly, Houthi declared, “You will not be able to protect the Israeli enemy’s ships in the Red Sea … This is a disgrace upon you, and at the same time, you will not succeed.”
Israel’s war on Gaza has inadvertently elevated Yemen to a central axis in regional geopolitics. The Axis of Resistance has extended its frontlines from the Levant to the Arabian Sea. With Emirati-Saudi backing, Tel Aviv now bets on normalization and internal sabotage to sideline Sanaa. Yet Yemen’s rising deterrence capabilities suggest the war for Bab al-Mandab is far from over.

Yemeni resistance strikes
Ansarallah have launched a homegrown combat drone toward the port city of Eilat today, apparently intercepted
"The attack marks the second in a day, as the Yemeni Armed Forces had earlier claimed responsibility for launching a new “hypersonic ballistic missile” attack against sensitive targets in the occupied city of al-Quds with a multi-warhead Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile"

📲 It seems the #ceasefire between the #US and the Houthis are about to be broken after the Yemeni fighters announced their intention to target major US oil firms in the nearby seas
They released the names of American entities, their CEOs and two ships that they intend to target in time to come

"The operation was framed as a “response to the crimes of genocide and severe escalation by the Israeli enemy against our brothers in the Gaza Strip, and as part of the response to the Israeli aggression on our country”"
Eilat's port went bankrupt because of Ansarallah's operations. So not the first or the last time Israel's defence system fails...I'm devastated
Yafa drone from #Ansarallah hit #Israel (#Eilat). Multiple casualties confirmed.
It's worth reminding the drone traveled 2,100 km from #Yemen, without being intercepted.
While others talk, Yemenis ACT against #genocide.

"Yemen reiterated its commitment to safeguarding international navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, stressing that its military operations in the area are directed solely against the Israeli enemy and its interests, as pressure to halt ongoing massacres and blockade against the people of Gaza"
You cannot find a more principled people, despite the duress, bombardments, constant aggression they're under

After the Saudi-hosted maritime security conference in Riyadh and the announcement of a Saudi-British partnership for Red Sea security, the Yemeni leader al-Houthi defined the partnership "as having a single true objective: "to protect Israeli navigation.""
"He advised the Saudi regime and others: "Do not entangle yourselves in militarily supporting the Israeli enemy to protect its ships at sea.""

Some serious trolling from Mohammad al-Farah, senior Ansarallah official
"Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz's threat to "fly the Israeli flag" in Yemen's capital Sanaa" to which "al-Farah stated that before anyone could speak of raising their flag in Sanaa, they must first resume operations at the defunct port of Eilat and dare to fly their own flag on their ships, rather than hiding behind the flags of other nations"
