“We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), commend the exceptional military operation carried out by the Yemeni armed forces and the brothers Ansar Allah [movement], which targeted the heart of Tel Aviv, the center of the Zionist entity using the combat drone (Yafa). This heroic operation marks the beginning of a phase in targeting the depth of the fascist Zionist entity and its internal front in response to the ongoing brutal aggression on our defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of the Palestinian resistance.

“While we hail the positions of the brothers in Ansar Allah in Yemen, Hezbollah, the Jamaa Islamiya in Lebanon, and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, we call upon all the forces and elements of our Ummah [Islamic nation] to unite and join the battle of honor and dignity, and strike the fascist occupying regime in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and in defense of the holy sites desecrated by the fascist settlers, most notably the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”“Press Statement,” Hamas - Online English Telegram Channel, July 19, 2024.
