Yemen’s newly appointed Chief of Staff Major General Ali Al-Madani has sent a letter to Hamas’ Al-Qassam brigades, praising their resistance in Gaza and voicing readiness to resume attacks against Israeli enemy if the aggression on the besieged strip continues.
In the letter, issued through the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, Al-Madani emphasized the “unity of the path” between Yemen and the Palestinian resistance, framing the struggle in Gaza as part of a broader regional confrontation with Israel and its allies.
The statement praised the steadfastness of resistance fighters in Gaza under siege and reaffirmed Yemen’s commitment to standing “side by side” with them.

Al-Madani said that if the Israeli enemy resumes military operations against Gaza, Yemeni forces would resume military action “deep within the Zionist entity” and would re-impose a ban on Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.
The letter emphasized ties between the resistance groups, describing their relationship in religious and Jihadi terms and asserting a shared purpose in confronting the Zionist enemy.
Al-Madani also praised the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, for their role in the conflict and acknowledged the group’s significance to Palestinian resistance.
Al-Madani succeeded Major General Mohammed Abdul Karim Al-Ghamari, who was assassinated in a suspected Israeli airstrike in Sana’a earlier this year. Al-Ghamari had been a central figure in Yemen’s military coordination and its public stance in support of Gaza.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Yemen’s revolutionary forces have launched multiple missiles and drones aimed at Israeli or Israeli-linked targets and have imposed a maritime blockade in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting vessels linked to the Zionist entity. The blockade has forced large shipping companies to reroute international trade, generating global economic and geopolitical repercussions.
