As Israeli enemy staggers in Gaza... Sana'a prepares for all scenarios
Sana'a - Saba: The Yemeni front supporting Gaza has become one of the most active and influential fronts in confronting the Zionist aggression, especially as the brutality of the occupation against civilians in Gaza escalates. These civilians face a triad of death: bombardment, starvation, and disease—a scene unparalleled in modern history. For over 21 months, the Zionist war machine has continued its killing spree, increasing the toll of martyrs, wounded, and missing in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the enemy is trapped in a vicious cycle, desperately searching for its captives without achieving any notable progress. Instead, it suffers heavy daily losses due to the steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance and its painful strikes. Despite the significant losses inflicted on the usurping entity—whether by the Palestinian resistance or Iranian strikes over 12 days—its reaction has been to target civilians, unleashing its hatred on the people of Gaza in a bloody, vengeful spectacle witnessed by the world amid international silence and disgraceful Arab and Islamic official inaction. Yet Yemen, a nation that has historically resisted invaders, now stands firmly on the frontlines, directing its weapons against an arrogant enemy that threatens not only Palestinians but the security and stability of the entire region. Repeated aggressions against Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran confirm that the Zionist entity is a perpetual project of war and terror, one that knows no peace. In a notable escalation, the enemy recently launched airstrikes on Yemeni civilian facilities, including the ports of Hodeida and Ras Issa, as well as the Ras Katnib power station—a desperate attempt to deter the Yemeni front, which has become a growing concern for decision-makers in Tel Aviv, especially as Yemen's missile and air defense capabilities advance. For the first time, Yemen's locally manufactured air defense systems have entered active service, with surface-to-air missiles launched to intercept enemy aircraft in the skies of Hodeida. This marks a qualitative turning point, fulfilling the warning of His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Head of the Supreme Political Council and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, that enemy aircraft would become "a laughingstock in Yemen's skies." The strategic deployment of air defense systems is not just a tactical gain but a clear message to all who back the Zionist entity—especially the U.S., Britain, and their allies—that Yemen's airspace is no longer an open or vulnerable arena for hostile aircraft but is now protected by defensive capabilities capable of deterrence. In line with its "equal response" strategy, the Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out precise strikes deep inside the Zionist entity, targeting Lod Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Ashkelon power station in retaliation for the attacks on Hodeidah and Ras Issa ports. The message is clear: Sana'a has the final say, and the cost of aggression will be steep. Military analysts affirm that Yemen's possession of a modern air defense system will reshape the conflict's equations, shattering the myth of the "invincible army" that has long boasted of striking anywhere in the region without consequence. As the Zionist leadership reckons with Yemen's breach of its airspace and capabilities, Sana'a remains fully prepared for the worst-case scenarios—where battlefronts intertwine, missiles, warships, and aircraft clash in a scene where the world respects only the language of strength.

In a statement, President al-Mashat saluted the heroic mujahideen as they forced the Zionist enemy to flee after its aircraft infiltrated to target civilian targets on the outskirts of the country. He said, "Greetings to our heroes as they respond in kind to the Israeli enemy." The President affirmed that Yemen of Faith and Wisdom will continue its supportive stance toward our people in Gaza until victory is achieved, noting that no Zionist aggression, no matter its size or impact, can deter our people from supporting Gaza. Al-Mashat added, "In the face of just causes and righteous decisions, the results are irrelevant, no matter how great. The outcome is for the righteous." President al-Mashat addressed the mujahideen in Gaza, saying, "Negotiate and hold your heads high. We are with you, and all the resources of our people will support you until the siege is lifted and the aggression against you stops." He emphasized that the enemy's threats will not shake a hair on the head of even the smallest child in Yemen. He reiterated his commitment to "continuing to support our people in Gaza and defending our country's sovereignty with all our strength. Our surprises will come one after the other." President al-Mashat said, "The settler herds should stay close to the shelters if they do not restrain their government's enemies from their aggression." He pointed out that Yemen is a field for final blows, not a place for show. This is what history says, and the present will prove it, God willing. President al-Mashat also saluted the people of faith and wisdom, and their wise and courageous leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Culture & Tourism Ministry organizes event commemorating Imam Hussein martyrdom
Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, along with its affiliated bodies, organized a commemorative event on Satirday on the occasion of Ashura, marking the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), funded by the Heritage and Cultural Development Fund. The event was attended by Ambassador Abdul-Ilah Hajar, Advisor to the President of the Supreme Political Council. Dr. Ali Al-Yafai, Minister of Culture and Tourism, emphasized the importance of commemorating Ashura to draw lessons from the life of Imam Hussein (pbuh) and follow his path. He addressed the tragedy of Karbala and the deviations that afflicted the Muslim nation, as well as the attempts by its enemies to undermine its symbols, leaders, and sanctities. He stressed that the reason for the Muslim Ummah's deviation from the true religion was its distance from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his pure household. "Were it not for the revolution of Imam Hussein, there would have been no uprisings against injustice, arrogance, and tyrants," he said, noting that the tragedy of Karbala was a profound calamity for Imam Hussein and his family. He highlighted that the Yemeni people's commemoration of this event embodies their loyalty to God, His Messenger (pbuh), Imam Ali (pbuh), and the guiding leaders. Minister Al-Yafai reviewed the virtues of Imam Hussein and the values he upheld through his sacrifices in the face of injustice, as well as the principles he established to revive the religion of God and resist deviations from Islam. He pointed out that Imam Hussein's approach in revolting against tyranny is being renewed today in confronting the aggression coalition, resisting colonial , hegemonic projects, and standing against invasion and occupation. "The oppression faced by the descendants of the Prophet (pbuh) cannot be erased from the memory of generations, as their sacrifices represent a spirit of jihad and a path for Yemen's heroes in achieving victory and thwarting the plots of aggression and its mercenaries," he added, explaining that commemorating Ashura reflects the Yemeni people's love for Imam Hussein and their connection to him. The Minister affirmed that Imam Hussein was a guiding light for the nation, not seeking worldly positions but rather striving for the reform of the Ummah and sacrificing for the sake of truth. He considered the commemoration an opportunity to reinforce the values of patience, steadfastness in truth, and confronting falsehood. The event was also attended by Dr. Issam Al-Sanini, Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism. Cultural activist Muhammad Sharafuddin stressed the importance of commemorating Ashura to recognize the injustice suffered by Imam Hussein and to draw lessons from it. He noted that Imam Hussein's revolution immortalized values that are evident today, as they embody principles carried forward with unwavering resolve. He highlighted the virtues and sacrifices of Imam Hussein, his defense of truth against tyranny, and his Quranic and jihad-oriented path, despite the injustices he faced. He emphasized that commemorating his martyrdom sends a message of the greatness, resilience, and steadfastness of the Yemeni people, who continue to follow the path of the revolution upheld by the descendants of the noble Prophet.
