The Gathering Storm:
Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Al-Houthi declared days of mourning for Hezbollah and Hamas commanders Fouad Shukr and Ismail Haniyeh and vowed a response from Yemen. He vowed that Yemen will spare no effort in coordination within the Axis of Resistance to avenge Shukr and Haniyeh, considering that the battle has transformed to a "broader and larger dimension that will have severe consequences for the enemy," compounding Yemen's justified response to the bombing of the Port of Hodeidah about two weeks ago. The Yemeni Armed Forces have raised the state of alert to the maximum.

Military sources in Sanaa told Al-Akhbar that "today's response is no longer Yemeni alone, but alongside the Lebanese, Iraqi, and Palestinian resistance movements. This response will be an open war targeting the entity's core and all the interests of its supporters in the region," referring to American bases.

They added: "The response will be stronger and larger than 'israel's' defensive capabilities," noting that "the enemy, through these crimes, is hastening the Axis' response, which surpasses its and Washington's capabilities."

This comes in light of the US mobilizing a number of warships and thousands of soldiers to the eastern Mediterranean to protect its cancerous entity in the region. The Yemeni military sources stated that the American military presence, both naval and ground, will be a target for the resistance, considering that "the 'israeli' attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Iraq, and Iran in the past two days necessitate a broad response, which is being coordinated, and the entity must bear the consequences of these Nazi crimes."

It is not only Yemen that has declared a state of maximum alert, but Iraq, too. While the Lebanese Hezbollah quietly evaluates its response to the unprecedented strike on Dahiye, the Iraqi resistance formed an emergency meeting in response to the American-zionist strike that led to the martyrdom of four members of the Iraqi Kataeb Hezbollah, including a leader.

Sources in the Iraqi resistance told Al-Akhbar that the meeting concerned preparations for qualitative strikes against the American aggression in the region, following the end of the truce that saw Iraqi factions pause their operations against American interests for several months.

"All factions are on alert, and all fighters have been instructed to be prepared and cautious of American drones," stated the source. The Iraqi Armed Forces held the coalition forces responsible for the attack, promising to take appropriate legal and diplomatic measures to ensure rights. On the other hand, the Popular Mobilization Forces called for uniting efforts for expulsion of American forces. Kataeb Hezbollah pointed at Kuwait, noting that the recent attack was launched from the American Ali Al-Salem base.

PMF leader Ali Hussein told Al-Akhbar that the stance of the resistance will be harsh against the Americans, and that targets have been identified. He stated: "All parties of the Axis of Resistance are ready to engage in open war against 'israel', America, and Arab zionists, but the final decision and word remain with our leaders who know the right opportunity to strike the enemy...The targeting of Jurf al-Nasr exposed the United States' false claims of belief in dialogue and negotiations. Hence, the resistance's stance will be stronger, and the response will be direct."

Nujaba Movement member Mahdi Al-Kaabi said: "The Iraqi resistance is fully ready for any aggression, given the advanced weapons, missiles, and drones it possesses to confront the American occupation and its bombings anywhere.

The storms gather and drums of war beat. There is no doubt that the response of the Axis is inevitably coming in the face of these escalating provocations. United by blood and destiny, driven by a shared commitment to resisting oppression, the blood of our martyrs called out for retribution, and their blood will not be in vain. The enemy will learn that they have awoken a force that neither fears death nor wavers in its pursuit of liberation.

Call for Absentee Prayer for the Soul of the Mujahid Leader Ismail Haniyeh in All Mosques

Let tomorrow, Friday, be a day of overwhelming anger in denunciation of the assassination crime and rejection of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

O masses of our proud Palestinian people, and O masses of our Arab and Islamic nation:

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), call upon you to perform the absentee prayer for the soul of the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh, tomorrow after Friday prayers, in all mosques, in loyalty to him, his message, and the blood of the martyrs. Let the roaring anger marches proceed from every mosque, denouncing the cowardly assassination crime, condemning the ongoing war of extermination against our people in the Gaza Strip, and defending our land, our Al-Quds, and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We also call upon the masses of our rebellious people in the occupied West Bank to make tomorrow, Friday, a day of overwhelming anger against the criminal zionist occupation and its terrorist settlers, in support and aid of our people in the Gaza Strip who are subjected to continuous genocide, and to affirm our adherence to our land and national rights, and to confront the occupation’s plans aimed at liquidating our cause and Judaizing our Al-Quds and blessed Al-Aqsa.

🚨🟡🟢 Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah during his speech today, August 1st, 2024, in honor of martyr commander Sayyed Fouad Shukr (1/2):
—
I extend condolences and congratulations to our brothers in the Hamas movement and the Al-Qassam Brigades on the martyrdom of brother Ismail Haniyeh.

We are partners with Hamas in resistance and martyrdom, and we will achieve the inevitable victory.

The targeting of the civilian building filled with residents in Harat Hreik in the southern suburbs (Dahiye) led to the martyrdom of 7 people.

We endure and face any calamity or disaster with beautiful patience, submission to Allah's will, and reliance on Allah.

What happened in Dahiye is an aggression, not just an assassination operation.

The enemy marketed days before its aggression that what it would do is a reaction, and we do not accept this evaluation and denoscription at all.

What happened is part of the "israeli"-American war on our region.

The enemy engages in the greatest deception and falscification by accusing our martyr of being a child killer in Majdal Shams.

The enemy rushed to accuse us in the Majdal Shams incident without providing any evidence.

We denied our responsibility for what happened in Majdal Shams. Our internal investigation confirms that we have no connection to what happened in Majdal Shams, and the enemy appointed itself as prosecutor, judge, and executioner.

We categorically denied our responsibility for what happened in Majdal Shams, and we have the courage and bravery to admit if it was our mistake.

"Israel" cannot accept the hypothesis that the cause of what happened in Majdal Shams was an "israeli" interceptor missile.

Accusing us of what happened in Majdal Shams is unjust and unacceptable and aims to exonerate the enemy's army from what happened.

The aim of accusing the resistance of what happened in Majdal Shams is sectarian sedition. Thanks to the awareness and firm positions of the noble Druze community leaders, the sedition was buried and disabled.

What happened from the aggression on the southern suburbs (Dahiye) is not a response to the enemy's claim about what happened in Majdal Shams, but it is part of the war and a response on the Lebanese support front.

We pay the price for our support to Gaza and our support for the Palestinian cause, and this is not new; we accept this price and pay it.

We entered this battle believing in its morality, legitimacy, and importance.

We were not surprised and will not be surprised by any price we may pay in this battle.

We are facing a major battle where matters have gone beyond the issue of support fronts.

We are in an open battle on all fronts, and it has entered a new phase.

Iran considers the assassination of Haniyeh an attack on its national security and sovereignty, and more importantly, it is an affront to honor.

Do they think they will kill Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and that Iran will remain silent?

I tell the enemy: laugh a little, but you will cry a lot. You do not know which lines you have crossed and what kind of aggression you have committed. For the enemy and the friend to know, we in the support fronts have entered a new phase on all support fronts, but its escalation depends on the enemy's reactions.

The enemy must await the anger and revenge of the honorable in this nation.
