Zionist Enemy Confirms Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's Detention as illegal Combatant
The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office reported on Tuesday, that the Beersheba Court of the Zionist enemy authorities decided to confirm the detention order of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, as an illegal combatant for a period of six months.
This decision comes after the commander of the southern region in the enemy army, Major General Yaron Finkelman, issued, on February 12, 2025, an order to transfer Dr. Abu Safiya to detention under the "illegal combatant" law, instead of trying him through the normal legal procedures.
It is noteworthy that the enemy forces arrested Dr. Abu Safiya on December 28, 2024, during their storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital, where more than 350 people who were inside the hospital at the time were arrested.
According to Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, the transfer of Dr. Abu Safiya to detention under the "illegal combatant" law is an arbitrary , dangerous measure, and proves the failure of the public prosecution to prove its allegations and accusations against the detainee.
The illegal Combatant Law allows enemy authorities to detain individuals without specific charges or a fair trial, in violation of international human rights laws and norms.

Mass rallies in Al-Dhale' affirm solidarity with Gaza & rejection of treacherous deals
Dhale' – Saba: Massive rallies were held on Friday across the districts of Damt, Al-Hasha, Qa'atabah, and Juban in Al-Dhale' province under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine... Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals.' Participants in the marches—led in Damt by the Acting Governor Abdul Latif Al-Shaghadri and Mobilization Official Ahmed Al-Murani—chanted slogans of mobilization and readiness to confront the forces of tyranny. They also raised powerful chants condemning the genocidal crimes, starvation tactics, and siege imposed by the American-Zionist enemy on their brothers in Gaza, amid disgraceful Arab, Islamic, and global silence. The demonstrators reaffirmed their unwavering stance against the genocide and starvation of the people of Gaza, pledged continued support for the Palestinian people and their courageous resistance. They also strongly condemned the shameful Arab and Islamic silence in the face of the Zionist entity's crimes, including genocide, starvation, deprivation of food, medicine, and water. They expressed their full alignment with the revolutionary leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in all efforts aimed at reinforcing Yemen's principled position in defending the Palestinian cause. The demonstrators announced their full support for the fourth phase of escalation announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces. They reaffirmed their absolute trust in and mandate to Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, expressing full readiness to carry out any measures required to confront the Zionist-American enemy until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted—no matter the sacrifices. A statement issued at the rallies declared that the American- and Western-backed Zionist crimes in Gaza—particularly the deaths from starvation—have reached unprecedented levels, documented in sound and image. This, the statement said, places humanity under a dire test: a test of conscience for the world, of faith and humanity for the Islamic Ummah, and an even more critical test of humanity, faith, and Arab brotherhood for the Arab world. The statement emphasized that no one is exempt—neither peoples, regimes, parties, nor movements—regardless of time. The results of this test, it said, will be recorded by God in the Book of Deeds, remembered in the annals of history, judged by God in this life and the hereafter. It reiterated that the Yemeni people, both officially and popularly, militarily and civilly, remain firmly committed to their advanced position in support of Palestine and will not back down. Yemen refuses to be counted among the indifferent or disgraced, but rather seeks to be recorded—before God , humankind—as holding a faithful, humane, and fraternal position. The statement praised the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to activate the fourth escalation phase, describing it as an expression of the pain and rage felt in the hearts of the people. It urged the Mujahideen of the Armed Forces to carry out operations against any company belonging to inhumane states collaborating with the most heinous criminals of this era. It also saluted the continuation of the Palestinian resistance operations in Gaza despite the dire conditions, stating that those efforts—alongside the actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine initiative—are the only true sources of hope, after God, for changing the current reality in Gaza. The statement stressed that diplomatic niceties, hollow statements, and deceptive gestures lacking genuine action have never rescued the oppressed, fed the hungry, or quenched the thirsty. Even the smallest military efforts, it noted, when made sincerely, are accompanied by God's promise of victory and warning of humiliation and defeat for the aggressors. It also warned those who, driven by betrayal and subservience, seek to sow chaos and sedition in order to weaken Yemen's stance against the American and Israeli enemies and undermine support for the Palestinian people. Such actions, it said, aim to destroy the most honorable and noble stance Yemen holds for Gaza, Palestine, and Al-Aqsa. The statement declared that Yemen has sacrificed thousands of martyrs and endured immense suffering, pain, sieges, and military alliances for its stance in support of Palestine—and is ready to sacrifice even more. Those who believe they can reverse this legacy of pride and drag Yemen back into humiliation, betrayal, and submission are only hastening their own destruction and condemning themselves to the lowest depths of Hell. Finally, the statement affirmed that the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces are at the highest level of readiness to confront any conspiracy, aggression, or betrayal. It called on all—officials and citizens alike—to remain vigilant, mobilized, proactive, relying on God for strength and victory. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

265 Mass rallies held in Al-Hodeidah affirming solidarity with Gaza & rejection of deceptive & treacherous deals
Hodeidah – Saba: Al-Hodeidah province witnessed 265 mass rallies on Friday across its various districts under the slogan 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine… Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals,' reaffirming the Yemeni people's unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian cause and opposition to Zionist aggression. The rallies, led in Al-Hodeidah city by Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Al-Qahim, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, and deputy governors Mohammed Halisy and Ali Kubari, resounded with chants of anger against the Israeli occupation. Participants condemned the brutal massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of Gaza and called for a sweeping Arab and Islamic response that breaks the silence and regional complicity with the Zionist regime. Protesters carried banners denouncing Arab cooperation with the enemy, including the opening of airspace to Israeli warplanes, fuel provision, and vast financial support to the U.S.—a key backer of Israel. They affirmed that Arab inaction stems from official decisions by normalization regimes that have prioritized submission to the enemy over the blood of children and women in Gaza. The people of the Red Sea coast denounced ongoing economic and diplomatic ties with the Israeli entity while Gaza's children suffer from hunger and siege. They warned of suspicious deals aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause under false pretenses. The rallies condemned the Palestinian Authority's collusion with the occupation, accusing it of aiding in the persecution of resistance fighters and the arrest of freedom-seekers—actions that enable the enemy to shed Palestinian blood with impunity. The crowds in Al-Hodeidah expressed strong support for the speech of the Revolution Leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, especially his clear warning to the nation about the consequences of complicity with the enemy. They emphasized that inaction will not exempt anyone from divine or historical accountability. They praised the explicit call for jihad in the path of God, viewing it as the only route to repel danger and reject humiliation and submission, affirming that peace cannot be achieved through silence, but through mobilization and confrontation. The demonstrations stressed the need for the Ummah to break free from spiritual blindness, embrace awareness and practical action, and for mosques, universities, and media outlets to play a mobilizing role proportionate to the magnitude of the threat facing Palestine. They saluted the steadfastness of the people and fighters of Gaza, viewing them as a unique model of resilience and sacrifice in the path of God. Protesters called for support of this model—not its distortion—and warned of the consequences of leaving it alone to face a rabid global aggression. Participants insisted that peoples must break out of the cycle of helplessness and bear the heavy responsibility of pressuring regimes, asserting that the time for silence and evasion has passed, and that every free voice is an asset to Palestine. A statement issued by the rallies reaffirmed the Yemeni people's unwavering and active support for the Palestinian cause and total rejection of any retreat or complacency in supporting the oppressed people of Palestine—particularly amid the massacres and famine in Gaza as a result of Zionist aggression backed by the U.S. and the West. It stressed that the genocidal crimes in Gaza, especially death by starvation in front of cameras, are a critical test of the world's humanity, particularly that of the Arab and Islamic nations. The statement urged recognition of the gravity of this stage, whose outcomes will be recorded in the books of deeds, etched in generational memory, judged both in this world and the hereafter. The statement further affirmed that the Yemeni people—its leadership and citizens, military and civilian—will continue advancing their principled stance on Palestine, with trust in God and His promise. They will never be among the negligent, but rather will demonstrate a profound spiritual, humanitarian, and brotherly position before God and history, seeking salvation from punishment , disgrace, and striving for reward in both worlds. The statement welcomed the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of entering the fourth stage of military escalation, describing it as a practical embodiment of the Yemeni people's pain and outrage at what is happening in Gaza. It called for the uncompromising implementation of measures against any company from nations that have lost their humanity and continue dealings with the Zionist entity. It also praised the heroic and ongoing operations of resistance factions in Gaza, carried out under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. The statement affirmed that such operations—alongside the strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine efforts—are the only path, after God, capable of shifting the equation on the ground in Gaza, unlike empty statements and complicit stances. It stressed that even modest military efforts, when compared to the Zionist killing machine supported by global tyrants, remain part of God's inevitable promise of victory and His assured punishment for the oppressors. Finally, the statement warned all agents of betrayal against attempting to stir unrest or chaos within Yemen under any pretext, deeming such acts direct attacks on the honorable stance Yemen has taken toward Palestine, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa—built upon great sacrifices, martyrdom, and endurance through siege, conspiracies, and military coalitions. The statement concluded by urging all official and popular components to maintain high vigilance, full mobilization, and continued effort to safeguard Yemen's noble position, seeing it as the people's most valuable asset in this life and their means of salvation in the hereafter.

Gaza residents angry as U.S. envoy Wickoff visits to cover up Israeli enemy starvation crimes
Gaza – Saba: Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have expressed strong anger over the visit by U.S. envoy Steve Wickoff to a humanitarian aid distribution center in Rafah, southern Gaza on Friday. Palestinians described Wickoff as a false witness protecting Israeli enemy war criminal and International Criminal Court fugitive, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Palestinian Ma'an news agency. They condemned the visit as an attempt to whitewash Israeli enemy crimes at aid centers and to polish the image of the institution responsible for the deaths of more than 1,383 Palestinians and injuries to over 9,218 others. Dozens gathered in Gaza City to protest the visit. Abu Bilal al-Aklouk, a member of the National Tribal Assembly in Gaza, said Wickoff was unwelcome and accused the visit of trying to mask the grim reality of aid distribution centers. He called for an aid mechanism that respects Palestinian dignity and ensures fair distribution. Abu Jihad al-Masri, a tribal elder from Beit Hanoun, expressed deep resentment over the visit, which coincided with the killing and injury of dozens of Palestinians. He added that the food distribution methods do not preserve the dignity of Palestinian citizens. 'We reject this institution, which serves as a tool for the Zionist enemy to implement its policies. Hunger continues unabated despite months of its operations,' he said. The U.S. administration is exerting all efforts to save the Israeli enemy entity and absolve it from the crimes of genocide and starvation in Gaza. With U.S. and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued since October 7, 2023, to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 60,332 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, and injuring 147,643 others, with thousands still trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, unreachable by rescue teams.
