Mufti of Oman calls on Muslims to support resistance in Yemen

Grand Mufti of Oman Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al Khalili

Following the Zionist regime’s deadly attack on Yemen, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al Khalili wrote in a post on X that the Israeli regime’s attack was due to Yemen’s support for the truth, referring to the situation in Gaza.

This is an aggression against all Muslims, he said, adding that all Muslims should support and help their brothers in Yemen.

The high cleric also prayed for divine mercy for the souls of the martyrs of the attack.

Israeli regime warplanes have carried out airstrikes on Yemen’s strategic western province of Hudaida after threats of retaliation for an earlier drone attack by Yemeni forces.

This is the first public Israeli attack on Yemen amid rising tensions. Yemeni television network al-Masirah reported that the airstrikes hit fuel storage facilities in the port city, causing fires.

The port is crucial for oil exports and serves as a major transit point for civilian goods and humanitarian aid to Yemen. The network also reported casualties from the attacks, although the exact number was not specified.

Yemeni forces have been attacking the occupied Palestinian territories and Israeli ships and vessels linked to them since October 7, when the Tel Aviv regime launched an assault on Gaza, killing nearly 39,000 Palestinians.

They have vowed to continue their operations as long as the regime continues its offensive against Gaza and its simultaneous siege of the Palestinian territory.
