Zionist enemy delays release of batch of Palestinian prisoners
Gaza - Saba:
The Zionist enemy delayed on Thursday the release of a batch of Palestinian prisoners, claiming scenes of wide public participation in handing over its prisoners to the resistance in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office said in a press statement that "after following up on the matter with mediators, the Palestinian prisoners will be released later this evening."
Before that, the Zionist enemy's army radio said that the political level issued instructions to the prison administration to freeze the release of Palestinian prisoners today until further notice.
The enemy's instructions came under the pretext of wide popular participation in the process of handing over the occupation's prisoners, and the great public embrace of the fighters of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades and the resistance.
Ministers in the enemy government opposed the scenes of handing over the occupation's prisoners today, especially in the city of Khan Yunis in front of the rubble of the house of the martyred head of the Hamas movement, Yahya al-Sinwar, considering it an unacceptable provocation.
Today, the Palestinian resistance factions handed over a number of Zionist prisoners and foreign workers detained in the Gaza Strip to the International Red Cross crews, on the 12th day of the ceasefire in Gaza.
Al-Qassam Brigades released the Zionist female prisoner "Agam Berger" from the rubble of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, which witnessed major Zionist bombing and destruction operations as part of the bloody military operation launched by the enemy army, during which a large number of enemy soldiers were killed and wounded.
Al-Qassam and al-Quds Brigades fighters also handed over the Zionist prisoners "Arbel Yehud" and "Gadi Moses" and five Thai detainees from in front of the rubble of the house of the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, as part of the third batch of prisoner exchange according to the ceasefire agreement.
The two handovers took place amidst a high public embrace and participation, and chants supporting the resistance and praising its sacrifices

Yemen : Houthis say ready to swap all prisoners with govt
Yemen's Houthi group announced on Friday its readiness to exchange all prisoners with the Yemeni government, a significant proposal put forward by the group since the outbreak of the civil war in late 2014. The Houthi-run Saba news agency cited a statement by Abdul Qader al-Murtada, head of the Houthis' committee for prisoners' affairs, as saying that the group is prepared to carry out "a full exchange process that includes all prisoners from all parties without exception." Al-Murtada called on the Saudi government to pressure the Yemeni government "to respond to the initiative without preconditions." The internationally recognized Yemeni government is yet to comment. The Yemeni government and the Houthi group implemented a UN-mediated major prisoner swap in 2023, exchanging around 900 prisoners. Another major exchange took place in 2020, with approximately 1,000 prisoners and detainees released from both sides. Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Houthi group seized control of much of northern Yemen, forcing the Yemeni government out of the capital Sanaa. Clashes between the Houthis and the Yemeni government have diminished since April 2022, following a UN-mediated truce.

Al Qaeda's Yemen branch chief threatens Trump, Musk over Gaza war
The leader of Al Qaeda's Yemen branch has threatened both United States President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk over Israel's war on Gaza in his first video message since taking over the group last year. The half-hour video message by Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki, which spread online early Saturday via supporters of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also included calls for lone-wolf militants to assassinate leaders in Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf Arab states over the war, which has decimated Gaza. The video of al-Awlaki's speech showed images of Trump and Musk, as well as US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of State Pete Hegseth. It also included images of logos of Musk's businesses, including the electric carmaker Tesla. 'There are no red lines after what happened and is happening to our people in Gaza," al-Awlaki said. "Reciprocity is legitimate.' Though believed to be weakened in recent years due to infighting and suspected US drone strikes killing its leaders, the group known by the acronym AQAP had been considered the most dangerous branch of Al Qaeda still operating after the 2011 killing by US Navy SEALs of founder Osama bin Laden. In 2022, a US drone strike in Afghanistan killed bin Laden's successor, Ayman al-Zawahri, who helped plot 9/11. The Sept. 11 attacks then began decades of war by the US in Afghanistan and Iraq, and fomented the rise of Daesh. Call for attacks Al-Awlaki already has a $6 million US bounty on his head, as Washington says al-Awlaki 'has publicly called for attacks against the United States and its allies.' He replaced AQAP leader Khalid al-Batarfi, whose death was announced by the group in 2024. AQAP's position on the Israel-Hamas war mirrors that of Yemen's Houthis. The Iranian-backed group has launched missile attacks on Israel and targeted commercial vessels moving through the Red Sea corridor, as well as American warships. The US Navy has described its campaign against the Houthis as the most intense combat it has faced since World War II. The Trump administration also launched its own intense campaign of strikes on the Houthis, which only ended before the president's recent trip to the Middle East.
