TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al Jazeera, the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement officially announced a complete air blockade of the occupied territories a few hours ago due to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This decision was widely welcomed by Palestinian groups, including the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

In a statement published on the Telegram messaging app, the Hamas movement called Yemen's action a "heroic act" that demonstrates the depth of the Ansar Allah movement's commitment to defending the people of Gaza.

The statement reads: "Zealous Yemen, with honorable positions that demonstrate the originality of its people and the courage of its leadership, revives respect for the values ​​of brotherhood and religious and Arab bonds in this heroic battle."

The statement adds: "The emphasis of the Yemeni armed forces that a free Yemen will not tolerate the occupation regime's aggression against Arab lands, especially in Lebanon and Syria, reflects responsibility in the form of a common destiny and the need to unite efforts to confront the dangerous Zionist plots that target the entire nation."

The Hamas movement, while praising the leaders of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, called for the international community to exert pressure to end the complete siege of Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians by the Zionists."
