Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades Hail Yemen as Palestine's Twin in Resistance

Gaza City, 4 May 2025 — In a powerful and emotionally charged message, the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, hailed Yemen as the steadfast "twin of Palestine" in the ongoing struggle against oppression. The statement, delivered by the Brigades’ spokesperson Abu Obeida, underscored a deepening alliance between resistance movements across the Middle East, praising Yemen for its unwavering support and sacrifices.

"Glory to Yemen, the twin of Palestine," declared Abu Obeida in his address on 4 May 2025. "May Allah guide your aim.

May He bless your struggle. May Allah accept your sacrifices.

You are from us and we are from you." The message reflects growing unity between resistance factions as regional tensions continue to escalate. The statement was accompanied by a widely circulated image featuring a caution tape reading "Closed by order of Yemen" prominently displayed in front of Lydd Airport, a symbolic gesture interpreted as a show of defiance and solidarity.

This visual narrative amplified the message of cooperation and shared destiny between the two nations in their resistance efforts. Observers note that this explicit acknowledgment of Yemen’s involvement may signal deeper operational or ideological collaboration.

Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement has previously expressed support for the Palestinian cause and has reportedly been involved in military actions aimed at Israeli interests in the Red Sea and beyond. The Al-Qassam Brigades’ message comes amid heightened conflict in the region, particularly following recent airstrikes in Gaza and escalated drone activity in the Red Sea.

Analysts believe this gesture serves as a morale booster not only for fighters on the ground but also for broader regional audiences sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. This latest show of transnational solidarity adds a significant layer to the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East, signaling that the Palestinian resistance movement is increasingly aligning with like-minded groups in Yemen and elsewhere.

As the situation evolves, such symbolic and strategic ties are expected to shape the broader resistance narrative moving forward.
