Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group and Yemen’s Houthis, both Iranian proxies, mourn Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
“We offer our deepest condolences,” Hezbollah says in a statement, vowing to continue “support for our Palestinian people.”
“My sincere condolences and great blessings to the Hamas movement and the dear Palestinian people for the great leader Yahya Sinwar receiving the medal of martyrdom,” a spokesman for Houthi rebel group writes on X, adding that “Gaza and the Palestinian cause are destined for victory, no matter how great the sacrifices.”
Both groups began attacking Israel in the wake of the Hamas-led October 2023 massacre.
