TEHRAN, Nov. 20 (MNA) – A senior Hamas official says the Yemeni seizure of an Israeli ship is a victory for the drops of blood shed in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime.

The measure is regarded as an example for all the Muslim Ummah across the world so as to take action in the face of the US and Zionist crimes, Sami Abu Zuhri said on Monday, according to Palestinian Shahab News.

He went on to say that the US and the Zionist regime have to pay the price of their crimes in Gaza.

On Sunday, the Yemeni Navy and Coastal Defense Forces seized an Israeli vessel in the Red Sea and transferred it to the shores of the Hudaydah Port in the Arab country.

The Armed Forces of Yemen issued a statement regarding the details of the seizure of the Israeli ship in the Red Sea, underlining that all ships belonging to the regime as well as those in connection with Tel Aviv are considered legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Yemen.

According to Yemeni media outlets, a spokesman for the Ansarullah movement Mohammed al-Bukhaiti said on Monday, "We are not scared of the Zionist enemy, but if we refuse to support Gaza, we must be afraid of the almighty God’s penalty."
