Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar says his Palestinian terror group is prepared for prolonged fighting against Israel, in a message to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels nearly a year into the Gaza war.
“We have prepared ourselves to fight a long war of attrition that will break the enemy’s political will,” the Hamas leader says, asserting that the militants in Gaza and allied Iran-aligned groups in Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen would defeat Israel.
Sinwar says in the message addressed to Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Huthi: “I congratulate you on your success in sending your missiles deep into the enemy entity, bypassing all layers and defense and interception systems.”
“Our combined efforts with you” and with groups in Lebanon and Iraq “will break this enemy and inflict defeat on it,” Sinwar adds.
