Two killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza

Three years after the “Seventh of October” (October), the aspects of this momentous event are still being evaluated and scrutinized.

Between the leaders’ calculations and the cost of the war, images changed, names rose, and leaders found themselves facing tests that reshaped their positions and options.

On this anniversary, Asharq Al-Awsat devotes a file to the most prominent “faces of the flood and its support.” Today's first episode begins with Palestinian faces: Yahya Sinwar, the engineer and "star" of the operation; Khalil Al-Hayya, who was led by the transformations of the war to the leadership of Hamas; And Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who captured the moment of major transformations and carried out in 3 years what had not been accomplished in two decades of reforms.

The second episode (tomorrow) moves to two Israeli figures (Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot), then the third episode concludes with the figures of support, Hassan Nasrallah and Ali Khamenei.

The head of the Yemeni Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, said that the armed forces and all military formations are waging their battle within Operation “Yemen Dawn” with steadfastness and ability on various fronts, noting the progress they have achieved and the steadfastness they have shown “confirms that the initiative is in the hands of the state and its armed forces, on the path to ending the coup and long-standing human suffering.”

While following the developments of Operation “Yemen Dawn” on the second day, Al-Alimi praised the victories of the armed forces, all military formations, and the popular resistance during the past hours in a number of fighting axes, and the valor and high efficiency demonstrated by their heroes and leaders in managing the battle, and inflicting heavy losses on the Iranian-backed militias.

The President stressed that the sacrifices of the heroes of the armed forces, security, military formations, and popular resistance “are what create today the dawn of a new Yemen, and will remain a religion on the neck of the state, and a foundation for the victory that all Yemenis aspire to.”

Al-Alimi listened to two briefings from the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Taher Al-Uqaili, and the Chief of the General Staff, Commander of Joint Operations, Lieutenant General Saghir bin Aziz, about the conduct of military operations, the field situation, the level of readiness and coordination between the various forces and formations, to implement the approved plans.

The briefings confirmed that Operation “Yemen Dawn” is proceeding according to its approved goals and plans, and that the attempts of the Houthi militias to push more recruits to the fighting fronts will not change the course of the battle, but rather reveal the extent of the attrition to which it is exposed and its continued need to compensate for its human and field losses.

The President called on citizens in areas forcefully controlled by the terrorist Houthi militia not to respond to the mobilization campaigns led by the group, and not to allow it to push their children into losing battles, stressing that its members have no alternative but to lay down their arms and take advantage of the opportunity for a safe return.

The President highly appreciated the comprehensive support provided by the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy” to the armed forces and the Yemeni people, stressing that this support represents an extension of the steadfast brotherly position alongside the people, their legitimate leadership, and their aspirations for security, stability and peace.

On the other hand, Yemeni Prime Minister Shaye’ al-Zindani followed the developments of the operations and the progress made in a number of axes, with the rapid developments taking place on the fighting fronts on the second day of Operation “Yemen Dawn”; This was done through a series of contacts he made with military and field leaders on the front lines.

On Tuesday, Al-Zindani listened to field briefings on the progress of operations and developments on various axes and fronts and the field progress achieved, stressing that this progress is being directly monitored by the government and full readiness to keep pace with it at the security, service and living levels.

The Prime Minister stressed that restoring state authority is inseparable from protecting the security of Yemen and the region, and securing international navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, thus putting an end to the risks that threaten this vital corridor and the security of international trade.

Al-Zindani appreciated the support of the Saudi-led coalition and the support it provides to efforts to restore state authority and enhance the security of Yemen and the region, noting that it embodies the Kingdom’s firm fraternal position alongside the Yemeni people and their legitimate leadership.
