Houthis mourn Sinwar, say Palestinian cause ‘destined for victory’
A spokesman for the Houthis says the Yemeni group is mourning Sinwar after his killing in Gaza.
“My sincere condolences and great blessings to the Hamas movement and the dear Palestinian people for the great leader Yahya Sinwar receiving the medal of martyrdom,” Mohammed Abdulsalam wrote on X.
“Gaza and the Palestinian cause are destined for victory, no matter how great the sacrifices.”
As we reported earlier, thousands of people in Yemen’s Houthi-held capital, Sanaa, rallied today in a show of support for Palestinians.
Since November, the Houthis have carried out numerous attacks on Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in what they describe as a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians during Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed at least 42,500 people.
