Mohammed Abdul Karim Al-Ghamari
Lieutenant General Mohammed Abdul Karim Al-Ghamari, known to his comrades by the code name “Sayyed Hashem,” emerged from humble beginnings to become a central figure in Yemen’s military and political transformation.
Early Life and Education: Al-Ghamari hailed from the Ghamar area of Al-Midan district in Amran province. He was raised in Sana’a. He graduated from high school with honors and was accepted into the Pharmacy Department at the Faculty of Medicine at Sana’a University.
Imprisonment: In the early 2000s, his support for Sayyed Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi resulted in his arrest during the regime of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. His activities, including organizing youth to chant the Ansarallah slogan in Sana’a’s Grand Mosque, led to nearly three years of imprisonment under harsh conditions, including torture and deprivation, despite the charges not strictly violating Yemeni law or constitution.

Joining the War: Following his release in 2007, Al-Ghamari was among hundreds who headed to the harsh terrain of Sa’ada and Haraf Sufyan, where the movement’s followers were persecuted and pursued. During that year, the young Mohammed was entrusted with a major operational role, adopting the nom de guerre “Hashem.” He participated in the movement’s military conflicts domestically and regionally – when an Arab coalition attacked Yemen in 2015.
Rise to Prominence: After the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ period and the subsequent political transition, which Ansarallah considered a foreign-driven conspiracy to restore US-Saudi guardianship, the movement eventually transitioned to governance to fill a constitutional vacuum.
The Ansrallah-Arab War: However, his most defining role began on March 26, 2015, following the Arab coalition’s war in Yemen. Emerging from the shadows, Al-Ghamari was appointed to lead the General Staff. In this role, he masterminded the defense and offensive campaigns across several fronts, while simultaneously spearheading strategic operations.
The Gaza Genocide: Al-Ghamari became a major concern for Israel due to his leadership in translating the Yemeni position on Palestine into new strategic equations against Israel following the start of genocide in Gaza. He directed the naval blockade in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, extending for the first time in history to the high seas of the Indian Ocean. Concurrently, missile and drone attacks reached deep into Israel.

The Israeli Jewish Nazis are good at killing women and children, elderly and handicapped, and all the heroes fighting to liberate Palestine. The Jewish Nazis don’t WANT peace. They literally can’t help themselves. They execute children, rape male detainees: men and boys…
and they kill innocent people.
If a nuclear bomb fell on Wasrael, it still wouldn’t be powerful enough to erase the plague that the Zionist Jewish Nazis have left upon this Earth.
