Palestinian teenager prisoner martyred in Israeli jail
The Palestinian Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Prisoners' Club announced late on Sunday the martyrdom of minor detainee Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmed (17 years old) from the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, in Megiddo Prison.
In a joint statement, they explained that his martyrdom adds another martyr to the list of those who have died as a result of the systematic crimes perpetrated by the prison system in an unprecedented manner since the start of the war of extermination on October 7, 2023. The war on prisoners represents another aspect of the genocide.
They stated that the minor martyr, Walid Ahmed, was arrested on September 30, 2024, and remains detained to this day. The circumstances of his martyrdom have not yet been confirmed.
The Prisoners' Authority and the Prisoners' Club clarified that the minor Walid is the (63) martyr to have been killed since the beginning of the war of extermination, and that only those whose identities are known, including at least (40) from Gaza. This makes this the bloodiest phase in the history of the prisoners' movement since 1967.
This brings the number of martyrs from the prisoners' movement whose identities are known since 1967 to (300), noting that there are dozens of martyrs from Gaza detainees who are subject to enforced disappearance. The number of martyr prisoners whose bodies are being held has also risen to (72), including (61) since the beginning of the war.
They added that the case of the martyrdom of the minor detainee Ahmed constitutes a new crime in the record of the Zionist system of brutality, which has reached its peak since the beginning of the war of extermination.
They emphasized that the rising number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes for thousands of prisoners and detainees to be held in enemy prisons, and as they continue to be subjected to systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults of all kinds, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to serious and contagious diseases, in addition to policies of theft and deprivation—unprecedented in their scope.
They held the enemy fully responsible for his martyrdom.
They renewed their call for the international human rights community to move forward with effective decisions to hold the enemy's leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against the Palestinian people.
They also called for sanctions to be imposed on the enemy that would place it in a state of clear international isolation, restore the human rights community to its fundamental role, put an end to the horrific state of impotence it has endured during the war of extermination, and end the exceptional immunity granted by the former colonial powers to the Zionist enemy, which considers them above accountability, accountability, and punishment.

Revolution leader reaffirms Yemen's steadfast position in supporting Palestine, resisting U.S.-Israeli tyranny
Sana'a – Saba: Revolution Leader Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi reiterated on Sunday Yemen's firm and unwavering stance in supporting the Palestinian people and confronting American and Israeli tyranny. In a televised address delivered on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Zaid (peace be upon him), Sayyed Abdulmalik affirmed that the Yemeni people remain steadfast in their comprehensive and continuous mobilization in support of Gaza since the onset of Israeli aggression — despite facing intense military assaults in two consecutive rounds, involving thousands of U.S., British, and Israeli airstrikes. 'Our position in supporting the Palestinian people and confronting American and Israeli tyranny remains unchanged. We are confident in Allah's true promise of victory, despite the aggression, blockades, severe restrictions on humanitarian aid, and an organized economic war waged through various tools,' Sayyed Abdulmalik said. The leader pointed out that Yemen, in its support for Gaza, also faces an enormous propaganda war aimed at psychological infiltration, destabilization, and distraction from its core issues — foremost among them, the Palestinian cause, which concerns the entire Muslim nation. Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that 'the Palestinian people are part of us, and their suffering is that of the entire Ummah. The U.S.-Israeli threat is a danger to all.' He added that the Yemeni people's steadfastness is driven by firm faith, deep Quranic awareness, and unwavering conviction. 'Our people's insight and Quranic awareness are the foundation of its resilience and strong belief. Thanks to Allah, all enemy attempts to deviate our people from its faithful path have failed,' he said. The leader stressed that Yemen will continue its active engagement across all fronts — military operations, mass mobilization, and strategic training — to strengthen readiness and uphold just causes. 'Our course in confronting U.S.-Israeli tyranny and its regional proxies is guided by Quranic insight and genuine faith in the path of Allah. It is an authentic trajectory rooted in prophetic example and sustained through generations,' he added. On the occasion of Imam Zaid's martyrdom, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted the Imam's stature as a great symbol of Islam and a guide to the Ummah. 'We commemorate this occasion not only to honor Imam Zaid but to draw upon the immense lessons he left — lessons urgently needed in our time. As a nation facing immense challenges, we must learn from our history to strengthen our awareness, insight, and sense of responsibility,' he said. The leader described Imam Zaid as known across the Ummah for his spiritual excellence, distinguished status, and bold role — respected by all Islamic sects. 'Imam Zaid's movement was based on deep faith and insight. He worked tirelessly for years until he was martyred, aiming to reconnect the Ummah with the Quran in both guidance and practical application,' he explained. He noted that Imam Zaid was famously known in Medina as 'Ally of the Quran' due to his profound connection with it and his efforts to enlighten the Ummah and correct misconceptions. Imam Zaid's uprising, he said, came at a time of deep crisis under the tyranny of the Umayyads, who desecrated sacred Islamic sites, including the Kaaba and the Prophet's family. 'Jews were welcomed in the courts of Umayyad rulers and from there, they directed insults toward the Prophet (PBUH). Those rulers exerted all efforts to humiliate the Ummah and distort Islamic teachings,' he said. Despite harsh conditions, Imam Zaid launched a principled and righteous revolution to restore Quranic values and correct the course of the Islamic nation. The revolution leader stressed the critical role of Quranic awareness in resisting tyranny, countering deviance, and upholding major Islamic principles — particularly enjoining good and forbidding evil, which Imam Zaid sought to revive. The leader warned that the absence of this principle has allowed corruption to dominate while virtue is suppressed — reflecting the influence of Jewish-Zionist schemes. 'When the principle of enjoining good and forbidding evil is neglected, Islam becomes a shell of rituals devoid of meaning, and society falls into moral decay,' he said. Sayyed al-Houthi recalled Imam Zaid's famous statement: 'By Allah, the Book of Allah does not allow me to remain silent,' underlining his commitment to liberating the Ummah from subjugation and apathy. The Imam, he noted, endured betrayal yet remained determined, famously declaring, 'Even if only Ibn Yahya joins me, I will still fight them.' The leader recalled how the Umayyads crucified Imam Zaid's body for four years before burning it, hoping to erase his legacy — a goal in which they utterly failed. 'His struggle gave lasting momentum to the truth, establishing a school of resistance that lives on through the ages,' he said. Sayyed Abdulmalik stressed that today, the Ummah needs to revive the major themes of Imam Zaid's revolution — especially living by the Quran to resist American and Israeli tyranny. He described this tyranny as a threat to the Ummah's freedom, dignity, sanctities, and identity, aiming to erase Islam's distinct features. 'The correct path to confront this danger is through serious action inspired by Quranic guidance,' he stated. The leader also highlighted the immense suffering in Gaza, calling it a threat to the entire Ummah. 'What the Palestinian people in Gaza are enduring is a horrific tragedy. Children are dying daily from hunger — this is the worst stage of starvation,' he said. The leader accused the Israeli enemy regime of engineering 'death traps' and manipulating humanitarian aid to turn it into a tool of genocide. 'Many in Gaza are suffering extreme hunger while surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs and two billion Muslims watching helplessly — as if they were a paralyzed nation,' he lamented. Sayyed Abdulmalik warned that the Ummah's silence and evasion of responsibility toward Gaza is a grave danger with consequences in both this life and the hereafter. He criticized the absence of honor and conscience in the Muslim world and described the ongoing starvation of children in Gaza as a shameful disgrace to Arabs and Muslims alike. The leader concluded by stating that the enemy's confidence in its impunity stems from the Ummah's staggering failure to act — and emphasized that Yemen stands apart in its steadfast support for Palestine.

Mufti of Oman: Grand Mufti of Oman calls on Arab & Islamic countries to mobilise in support of Gaza
Muscat - Saba: The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al Khalili, on Sunday appealed to Islamic countries in general and Arab countries in particular, to come to the aid of their brothers in the Gaza Strip, who are being subjected to a crime of extermination committed by the Zionist enemy army. Sheikh Al-Khalili said in a "blog post" on the "X" platform: "We follow with regret and pain the tragedy of dear Gaza from the suffocating siege unjustly imposed on it, and how it led to people falling in groups and alone from the effect of hunger." He added: "It is surprising that this tragedy is recorded by the media moment by moment, but those who are related by blood and religion are not shaken by it, nor are those who claim to have conventions and laws, as if they are waiting for the sequel after they did not care about anything else; by God, how will they answer if they are asked before the hands of God Almighty, what sin did you kill for?" He continued: "Thus, we appeal to the Islamic countries in general and the Arab countries in particular to come to the aid of their brothers sooner rather than later; this is the right of all humanity, and neither a sincere Muslim nor a genuine Arab would accept this injustice in any human being, Muslim or non-Muslim, although the right of Muslims among their brothers in Islam is Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he shall not oppress him, nor shall he despise him, nor shall he hand him over." The Grand Mufti of Oman continued: "We make this appeal to our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: Leaders and peoples to push in the direction of expediting the opening of crossings and relief for the afflicted people of their neighbours and brothers in Gaza and Palestine, and we do not forget here to remind our distinguished scholars in the two countries to hasten to carry out their rights in this regard, especially Al-Azhar, represented by its Grand Imam and its distinguished scholars," Sheikh Al-Khalili said. Sheikh Al-Khalili concluded his blog by saying: "In sum, we hope that all those with a living human conscience in the whole world will hasten to do so; everyone is responsible before God Almighty and no one is exempt from this responsibility. May Allah bear witness, and may Allah help us and support us." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Yemen Affirms Commitment to Freedom of Navigation, Except for Vessels Supporting Israeli Entity
Sana'a - Saba: The Republic of Yemen affirmed Sunday its firm position on the principle of freedom of navigation. This came in a letter sent by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Jamal Amer to the President of the Security Council for July 2025, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmed, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The letter referred to the statement of His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, dated July 8, 2025, in which he affirmed the Republic of Yemen's commitment to the principles of international law and UN charters, including freedom of international navigation in vital waterways. The letter emphasized that the commitment to freedom of international navigation applies to all states and entities with the exception of the Israeli entity and those who provide it with logistical, military, or economic support that directly or indirectly contributes to the brutal Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip. It noted that, in confirmation of Yemen's commitment to avoiding any unintended harm, the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC) was established to facilitate effective and transparent coordination with international shipping companies, to ensure safe passage for vessels not involved in supporting the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip, and to avoid any unnecessary escalation. The letter called for all commercial vessels and shipping companies to adhere to the instructions and decisions issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces in this regard, stressing that any disregard for these instructions will make the violating parties bear full responsibility for any potential repercussions. The Yemeni government in Sana'a advised all entities, whether governmental or private, to refrain from dealing with or cooperating with any assets or interests belonging to the Israeli entity, in order to avoid any risks that may arise from the continued aggression. The letter emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces are growing stronger and more disciplined and will continue their targeted and specific operations, with the sole goal of halting the unjust aggression and lifting the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, in accordance with the principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. In the letter, the Foreign Minister reiterated Sana'a's belief that the continued Israeli aggression threatens regional and international security and stability, calling on the United Nations and the Security Council to assume full responsibility and take immediate and effective steps to halt this aggression, provide urgent relief, and protect the Palestinian people.
