🇾🇪 Ansarallah spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam:
—
The statements from US officials regarding developments in the Red Sea, as if they are a threat to global interests, is an American attempt to divert attention from the "israeli" massacres against the people of Gaza.
This is something the whole world should pay attention to.
The insistence of the ruling elite in Washington to go far in supporting "israel" against Gaza could explode the region. America must bear the consequences of this arrogance and realize that militarizing the Red Sea will not prevent Yemen from continuing its support operations for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.

More than 100 journalists have been martyred by the zionist enemy's raids in Gaza, where the zionist-American massacre is taking place for the fourth consecutive month, in front of the eyes and ears of Western countries that have bombarded the world with talk of democracy, human rights, freedom of opinion and expression.
With the martyrdom of each journalist in Gaza, most recently Mustafa Thuraya and Hamza Al-Dahdouh, the falsehood and deceit of Western propaganda is exposed and falls apart.
In this context, we say to the journalists of Palestine: you are carrying out a humanitarian mission by conveying your oppression to the world. The martyrdom of your colleagues stands as a damning indictment of the falsehood of Western propaganda.
You are alive, O people of the message; and as martyrs, people of a cause that will remain and never die.

Hours after the martyrdom of his oldest son, Hamza, journalist and Al-Jazeera bureau chief Wael Al-Dahdouh returns on air to cover zionist crimes taking place in #Gaza.
On October 25th, the IOF targeted his family's home, leading to the martyrdom of his wife and nephew, as well as his son and daughter: Sham and Mahmoud. Moments later, he returned to the air, continuing his coverage of the occupation's crimes once more.
On December 15th, Wael himself was wounded after the IOF bombed the Haifa School in Khan Younis, southern #Gaza. His cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqah, ascended to martyrdom in the bombing, after the IOF besieged the school and prevented medical teams from reaching the site, with Samer unable to move for over three hours. It marked the fourth time that his crew was deliberately targeted.
Wael directed his message to the masses for the New Year two weeks later: "This insane war has left nothing untouched. Despite everything, we wish this year to be one of goodness, one of dignity and victory."
Today, his eldest son Hamza was martyred with fellow journalist Mustafa Thuraya, becoming the 109th martyred journalist. Hamza wrote of his father two days ago: "You are patient and hopeful, my father, so do not despair of healing, nor lose hope in God’s mercy, and be certain that God will reward you well for your patience."
Wael, in mourning his son today, said: "Not a part of me, Hamza was all of me, the soul of the soul, and everything."
"These are the tears of the pain and separation, the tears that differentiate us from our enemies: We are saturated with humanity, while they are saturated with killing and hatred. This is why we cry and pour tears—it is true—but these are the tears of humanity, the tears of generosity and nobility, not the tears of helplessness, fear, and submissiveness."
Wael stands tall, the mountain of Gaza, refusing to relent, steadfast in conveying the injustice on Gaza to the world.

Journalist Ali Salem Abu Ajwa, the grandson of Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, ascended to martyrdom as a result of an IOF bombing in #Gaza City, becoming the 110th martyred journalist in Gaza since October 7th.

Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi (part of AnsarAllah) went on an interview with BBC. The interviewer kept belittling Yemen’s and the resistance’s ability to confront Israel, but he replied to her very firmly and humiliated BBC and their biased journalism— with a little bit of comedy.
I’ve translated some highlights from the interview

A glimpse into the infamous "Flag Ambush" operation carried out by the Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades in 2018.
This creative operation lured the IOF to take down a flagpole placed on the separation fence between Gaza and the occupied territories. Little did they know, it was rigged with explosives. Briefly after taking the flagpole down, it was detonated and inflicted serious injuries to six IOF soldiers.

"Never abandon your weapons, no matter the cost. Continue the fight. Continue to strike the enemy in all the places you can reach."
A son of Gaza, he was born in 1963 in Maghazi refugee camp. Arrested and re-arrested, he was forced to leave Gaza in the 1980s, where he was leading resistance. A leading military commander, he would, five years after his martyrdom, free over 1,000 prisoners. This is the story of commander Abu Ataya, Sheikh Jamal Abu Samhadana, founder of the Popular Resistance Committees and its armed wing, the Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades.

"We have only one enemy. I will continue to carry the rifle and pull the trigger whenever required to defend my people."
From Gaza, Abu Ataya went to Egypt. His path led him to Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, and even as far as Germany, where he enrolled in a military academy for three years. He travelled to Algeria and then Iraq before ending his tour of the Arab world and returning finally home to Gaza in 1993 despite his strong opposition to the recently signed Oslo Accords.
He worked in the Palestinian Authority security forces as an officer and soon became an elected member of Fatah. But Abu Ataya was dissatisfied with the level of corruption in Fatah. The party expelled him after he protested against their corruption, and the PA even abducted him for 19 months in their prisons for working with PIJ. Abu Ataya soon realized he had to create his own project.
With the help of Saraya Al-Quds leaders and with the spark of the second intifada in 2000, he announced the beginnings of the Popular Resistance Committees from Rafah, Gaza and formed the Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades, its military wing. Its fighters were mostly ex-Fatah and PA forces members, along with Hamas and PIJ fighters. Abu Ataya established extensive relationships with other resistance forces, and as such, PRC maintained and still maintains a very close relationship to Hezbollah.
After Al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya Al-Quds, the Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades is the strongest military wing in Gaza. Its operations are many, painful, and precise. The Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades were the first in Palestine to blow up the "indestructible" IOF Merkava, killing many IOF soldiers and wounding others. Under Abu Ataya's command, fighters infiltrated several settlements and on one occasion in 2003, attacked a US convoy that killed five in Gaza. Years after his martyrdom, PRC fighters continue to carry out destructive and creative operations, such as the Flag Ambush Operation of 2018, in which explosives were hidden inside a flagpole on the Gaza colonial border. Under Abu Ataya and now, the PRC's "Nasser" and "Abu Ataya" rockets cause destruction to the fragile zionist entity, striking "Tel Aviv" and beyond, its AQ suicide drones strike IOF targets, and its fighters are active in the West Bank.
In his heroic journey, he survived three assassination attempts by the zionist entity. A cautious man, he did not carry a phone; contact with him was only possible through associates. In August 2004, he survived a targeted zionist bombing. After these assassination attempts, he elected to walk everywhere, abandoning his car.

The Palestinian masses reject Oslo and its children! In the 30 years since the traitorous deal, the number of settlements have tripled, there are 155 new zionist outposts, and the settler population in the West Bank has more than quadrupled.
Resistance…
Resistance…
"We will strike them in their heart as they struck us in our heart."
In 2006, Abu Ataya became the first resistance commander to hold a governmental position in Gaza under the Hamas government; he was the most wanted by the zionist entity after Al-Qassam Brigades commander-in-chief Mohammed Deif. This position put him on even worse terms with the enemy. Faced with threats from the US and zionist entity, Abu Ataya declared: "I do not fear zionist threats. We are not afraid of the zionist entity. All of our people are within their circle of targeting, and we will use all means to protect the resistance and our people. We are not afraid of death. We fight for martyrdom."
On this day 17 years ago, US-funded zionist planes bombarded a PRC training site, targeting Sheikh Jamal. He ascended to martyrdom with his comrades, fulfilling his destiny. Immediately following the news of his martyrdom, "Sderot" was bombarded by the missiles of the resistance and resistance fighters carried out operations on soldiers and settlers. A page of the Palestinian struggle was turned, but the chapter had not ended.
In fact, at the moment of his martyrdom, Abu Ataya was strategizing with martyr Ahmed Al-Jabari for a carefully planned joint operation which would shatter the enemy's illusion of security. This operation, aptly named Operation Dissipated Illusion, was carried out by fighters of Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades 17 days after Abu Ataya's martyrdom.
At 5:15 AM in Rafah, where the PRC marked its beginnings, PRC fighters shelled an IOF watchtower and opened fire. They crossed into the occupied Palestine, gunning down soldiers. By the end of the affair, two IOF soldiers had been killed, five were wounded, and the prize of IOF soldier Gilad Shalit had been taken by fighters who returned to Gaza. Two fighters ascended to martyrdom in the heroic operation. On the same day, PRC fighters in the West Bank carried out the Rage of the Knights operation, in which they kidnapped a zionist police officer and killed him. In Gaza, Shalit was carefully guarded despite manic IOF raids to find him, as PRC fighters handed him to Al-Qassam Brigades for protection.
Five years later, Gilad would be exchanged for over 1,000 prisoners in zionist jails in the "Faithful to the Free" operation mediated by Hamas; a mere 1 minute video of him freed 19 women prisoners two years before that. Today, we honor the legacy of this mountain of a leader, who martyr Basil Al-Araj described as "a man of brilliant military mindset—the Artaboun of Palestine."
Sheikh Jamal Abu Samhadna taught us: "Our victories over the zionist occupation have proven their failure and their impotence. They have proven that there is no shrewdness in the 'Palestinian negotiator,' but that the real shrewdness comes from the Palestinian fighter who tarnished the honor of 'israel' in the dust. The most honorable position that a Palestinian can arrive at is to become a fighter and protect his people and his sanctities, to sacrifice all that he has for the sake of his people's freedom."
Freedom for our heroic prisoners.
Glory to our commanding martyr whose legacy endures.
Glory to the destroyer of the indestructible.

Born in Al-Quds, the young Omar Al-Qasim left Palestine for Lebanon at a young age to train in military camps. He chose to return in 1968, leading an armed group to carry out an operation after crossing the Jordan River. Fighting until the last bullet, he and others were abducted by zionist forces. In 1988, he became the first prisoner to spend 20 years in zionist jails. Zionists tried to get him to agree to a deal: his freedom as long as he stops resistance activities. He refused.
In prison, he established the foundations for the modern prisoner movement. From there, he carried out a number of hunger strikes. His status in the zionist prisons led others to give him the nickname "Mandela of Palestine."
On May 15th 1974, DFLP members disguised in IOF uniforms carried out the "Maalot" operation, in which 115 zionists were taken hostage. The fighters demanded the release of 26 prisoners. Zionist forces took Omar out of prison so that he could ask his comrades to release the hostages in exchange for a reduction in his sentence. Omar emerged, grabbed the microphone, and told his comrades to carry out the instructions of their leadership, completing what they came to do. The three fighters—Mohammed Dardour, Ali Al-Atmah, and Ziyad Ka'ik—were martyred; 31 zionists were killed.
Omar went back to prison, and upon reaching 20 years inside, he said:"I have spent more than twenty years in detention, and I do not care about my personal fate. What matters to me is the cause of my people, and as long as the nightmare of occupation remains on the chest of my people, I will continue to fight you."
On this day, 34 years ago, he ascended to martyrdom in Bir Sab' prison due to zionist medical neglect. Thousands attended his funeral in Al-Quds, where clashes broke out, prompting newspapers to write "Al-Quds is liberated in Al-Qasim's funeral."
Today, the armed wing of the DFLP is named after the martyred leader, the righteous son of Palestine and one of its most steadfast fighters. Glory to the martyrs.

The eagles of the clash: the comrades who, armed with an iron will, two pistols, and three grenades, raised the heads of the homeland from the center of Nablus.
Our story today is about the two leaders of the PFLP's Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, Yamen Faraj (Abu Nasreen), the Brigades' commander-in-chief, and his comrade and deputy Amjad Mulaitat (Abu Watan). Both were activists in their younger days, Yamen being the secretary of the PSLF as a student at Al-Najah, and Amjad having joined the PFLP at 14 years of age.
Both carried out daring operations and clashes together. Both were pursued by the occupation for years until their martyrdom together in a heroic armed clash on this day 19 years ago.
Our comrades left us on a day not dissimilar to today's epics of victory, turning defense into offense, and teaching zionist forces lessons that they could never forget: "Are you on the covenant, my friend?," Yamen asked. "On the covenant," Amjad replied. Outnumbered, our heroes persevered despite rocket fire, tanks, and gunfire from all directions. Bang—the first bullets of the eagles immediately neutralized invading forces. Boom—a grenade supports them. Our heroes rushed, grabbing an IOF machine gun and rocket launcher.
One of the eagles was hit.
"My friend, you have a chance to retreat. Go, and I will cover your back."
"I told you. On the covenant, my friend."
Yamen ascended to martyrdom moments later. For two hours, Amjad continued the legendary clash. One bullet was left in his gun, and he lay injured as a zionist soldier approached to flip him over. Bang—Amjad fired his final bullet into the zionist's skull. Bang, bang, bang, bang—Amjad was martyred by the IOF, refusing to die a natural death and only under showers of bullets.
The clash lasted over four hours. The zionist forces paid a heavy toll in blood: the eagles killed the unit officer, and several soldiers were injured.
At the top of their lungs, our heroes shouted: "The Eagles of the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades will not surrender!"

Yamen ascended to martyrdom moments later. For two hours, Amjad continued the legendary clash. One bullet was left in his gun, and he lay injured as a zionist soldier approached to flip him over. Bang—Amjad fired his final bullet into the zionist's skull. Bang, bang, bang, bang—Amjad was martyred by the IOF, refusing to die a natural death and only under showers of bullets.
The clash lasted over four hours. The zionist forces paid a heavy toll in blood: the eagles killed the unit officer, and several soldiers were injured.
At the top of their lungs, our heroes shouted: "The Eagles of the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades will not surrender!"
