Freed prisoner Mahmoud Al-Aridah recalls hearing, for the first time, that Yemen had joined the Al-Aqsa Flood battle in solidarity with Gaza—an act that deeply moved him, knowing Yemen’s limited means. In select interviews with Al-Alam, he spoke with emotion about the Axis of Resistance and recounted his harrowing experiences inside the occupation’s prisons.
In Media 1, he says; "It was the first time I heard that the Yemenis were standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people and fighting. I felt deep sorrow — that struggling Yemen, which has so few resources, was striking "israel". So I improvised a few words in praise of Yemen. When they heard them, a force came in — they stormed into my room and my brother Muammar al-Shahroori’s room. They beat us both severely, all of them took turns. They tried hard to kill me and Muammar — because we were speaking together. But by the grace of God Almighty, He saved me from them."
In Media 2, Mahmoud says; "The resistance in the region — and the Axis of Resistance in the region — have gone through a lot. This historic role will never be forgotten. I mean, who stood with Gaza? Who fought alongside Gaza?
I’ve heard words from many Palestinian leaders inside the prisons — though I don’t want to name anyone. One of them said something that deeply moved me. He said: “We were left alone, and no one fought with us except the descendants of the Messenger of God, peace be upon him — in Lebanon, in Yemen, and in the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
