Höhepunkte der Rede des Revolutionsführers (möge Gott sie beschützen) zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen
Sana'a-Saba Leader of the Revolution: When we consider the tragedy of the Palestinian people, we must understand that it has been going on for a very long time, spanning 77 years, and the suffering of the Palestinian people should not be limited to just one week. Leader of the Revolution: The enemy's targeting of the nine children of a Palestinian doctor is one of the recurring tragedies experienced by the Palestinian people. Leader of the Revolution: The Zionist aid distribution plan is a deceptive method and a farce aimed at engineering starvation in the Gaza Strip. Leader of the Revolution: The aid distribution mechanism is a farce that is internationally unacceptable and cannot be accepted by anyone. Any international party that accepts the distribution mechanism, whether the United Nations or other organizations, is accepting the violation of all international conventions and all human rights. Leader of the Revolution: The memory of the Zionist Jewish occupation of Jerusalem is one of the worst memories of our Islamic nation. Leader of the Revolution: The nation must assess its situation and the increasing threats to Al-Aqsa Mosque as the Israeli enemy continues its hostile steps aimed at its ultimate destruction. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli enemy does not hide its goal of destroying Al-Aqsa Mosque. It is a declared goal, and the steps to achieve it are clear and transparent. Leader of the Revolution: There are 27 tunnels and excavations under and around Al-Aqsa Mosque, through which the enemy seeks to bring Al-Aqsa Mosque to a state of collapse. Leader of the Revolution: It was clear from the scale of the Zionist incursions and rituals in Al-Aqsa Mosque that they are working to Judaize it and obliterate its Islamic identity. Leader of the Revolution: The Jews chanted "Death to the Arabs" in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, a chant they have been chanting for 77 years to express their hostility toward all Arabs. Leader of the Revolution: The chants of the Jews are an insult to all prophets, to the Seal of the Prophets, and to the great and sacred status of prophethood and the message. Leader of the Revolution: It is not strange that the Jews are infidels, evil, and wicked, but what is strange is the cowardice and silence of all Arabs and Muslims. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli enemy harbors a deep hatred for all Arabs and Muslims in general and does not even recognize them as human beings. Leader of the Revolution: The Jews view those they call "others"—meaning non-Jews from human societies—as mere animals, even below the level of other animals. Leader of the Revolution: Islam embodies the values of goodness, justice, noble morals, and innate human values, and the Zionist Jews are the enemies of all of these. Leader of the Revolution: The Zionist Jews embody evil in their thoughts, behavior, and actions, and this is evident in what they are doing in the Gaza Strip. Leader of the Revolution: The Zionist Jews have appeared before the entire world as an evil, dark, corrupt, and hateful entity that does not accept any of the accepted values. Leader of the Revolution: All the peoples of the world are calling for an end to the genocide in the Gaza Strip, but the Zionist Jews are ignoring this. Leader of the Revolution: The pickaxes with which the Israeli enemy is digging excavations and tunnels under Al-Aqsa Mosque and in Jerusalem are aimed at destroying the history, present, and future of Muslims. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli enemy is ready to do to your children the same crimes it did to the children of Palestine. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli enemy's plans against Mecca, the Holy House, the Hajj rituals, Medina, and the Mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) are the same plans that target the holy sites. Leader of the Revolution: Palestinian steadfastness plays a major role in ensuring that the Israeli enemy has not moved on to significantly complete the rest of its plans. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli enemy is trying to compensate for its defeats with major crimes, genocide, severe starvation, and targeting hospitals and displaced persons. Leader of the Revolution: The United States provides full support in the form of various weapons, trillions of dollars in Arab cash, media and political support, and even incitement. Leader of the Revolution: Members of the US Congress have repeatedly called for the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip with nuclear bombs. Leader of the Revolution: What is happening in Syria confirms that no one is safe from the Israeli enemy. Leader of the Revolution: The Red Sea remains closed, and navigation is still prohibited to the Israeli enemy. Leader of the Revolution: There is no movement of ships linked to the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea theater of operations through the Bab al-Mandab Strait to the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. Leader of the Revolution: I once again call and appeal to five Arab and Islamic regimes to stop cooperating with the Israeli enemy. Leader of the Revolution: The Israeli aggression on Sana'a Airport will not stop the Yemeni operations in support of the Palestinian people. Leader of the Revolution: Any sacrifices we make for the sake of God are honorable sacrifices, and we are striking the Israeli enemy within the framework of a practical and jihadi stance. Leader of the Revolution: We seek to escalate our support for the Palestinian people, and operations in the next phase will be more effective and impactful against the Israeli enemy. Leader of the Revolution: Over the course of 20 months, our people's activities have reached 2,112,701, including various demonstrations, marches, and sit-ins. Leader of the Revolution: The failure of the American aggression against our country is a great success, by God's grace, and a great victory from God for our dear people. Leader of the Revolution: Responding to God and embarking on His path builds the nation into a strong, effective, dignified, free, steadfast, resilient, and powerful nation in the face of challenges. Leader of the Revolution: There is consensus in the West that the second round of American aggression against our country, in support of Israel, has failed. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Saraya al-Quds announces two operations targets Zionist forces in Gaza
Gaza - (Saba): Saraya al-Quds, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Friday that it had carried out two operations, one of which was jointly conducted with the al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas), targeting Zionist forces in the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Brigades said that it had carried out a joint operation with the al-Qassam Brigades, in which the mujahideen eliminated a Zionist force that had penetrated the European area, southeast of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The statement explained that the mujahideen targeted the Zionist force with an anti-personnel missile and engaged it directly at point-blank range. It reported that the second operation was carried out by the al-Quds Brigades, when they targeted a special Zionist force of 10 soldiers who had taken refuge inside one of the European housing buildings with a "TBG" missile. The Brigades reported that the operation resulted in the deaths and injuries of Israeli soldiers, which necessitated the landing of a number of helicopters at the site at 4:00 PM on Thursday.
