Yemen - Islamic World News

On the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of Yemen’s October 14 Revolution—which led to the end of British colonial rule in 1963—Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, emphasized Aden’s historic role as the first site of anti-Zionist mobilization and a training ground for Palestinian fighters. He called on revolutionary and freedom-loving Yemenis in occupied provinces to uphold their ancestral legacy and Yemeni identity in resisting Zionist-backed forces.

Yemen’s decision to pause its military operations reflects a strategic shift from confrontation to conditional diplomacy. By tying its halt to Israel’s compliance with the ceasefire, Yemen signals that its objectives—supporting Palestine and pressuring regional actors—have been met. Far from retreat, this marks a calculated success in its campaign.

The battlefronts in the provinces of Ma’rib, Al-Jawf, and the southern regions remain under ceasefire between Yemeni armed forces and Saudi-led coalition forces. However, tensions persist in occupied areas of Yemen between factions aligned with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, including the Islah Party, Tariq Saleh’s forces, and other armed groups.

The Watson Institute, a respected academic center in the United States specializing in public affairs, government management, and international relations, has revealed details of U.S. military losses in recent clashes with Yemen’s armed forces in a report titled “The Costs of War.”

Security forces affiliated with Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council, aligned with the exiled government, are reportedly using Israeli Cellebrite spyware to monitor mobile phones and track users in Hadhramaut province.

Tensions flared in Taiz province as the local branch of the Islah Party announced the arrest of Abdulhakim al-Jabzi, a commander affiliated with Tareq Saleh’s forces, while he was returning home.

The MV MINERVAGRACHT, a Dutch-flagged general cargo vessel, was struck by a missile launched by Yemeni Armed Forces while sailing approximately 110 nautical miles southeast of the Port of Aden. The incident was first reported on September 29 by UK-based maritime security firm Ambrey, which confirmed the vessel had been targeted in a high-risk zone of the southern Red Sea.

The Saudi-led coalition has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 12,000 reserve fighters from Marib, including forces affiliated with the Islah Party and other allied factions. According to resistance spokesman Amir al-Humaiqani, the move signals a formal end to combat operations against the Houthis.

Early this morning, Yemeni Armed Forces launched a hypersonic ballistic missile Palestine-2 with a fragmentation warhead, targeting sensitive sites in Tel Aviv.

In recent days, Yemeni armed forces have launched attacks on positions of the Zionist regime in southern occupied Palestine using at least four suicide drones.

According to local sources, the Zionist regime has established radar and early-warning systems on Zuqar Island in the western shores of Hudaydah in the Red Sea, with support from the UAE and forces of Yemen’s former government.

Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom have launched a joint initiative aimed at bolstering the maritime security of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The plan involves mobilizing international financial support to equip the coast guard forces of Yemen’s internationally recognized (but deposed) government.
