Sana'a:Mohammed Abdulsalam, the Head of the National Negotiating Delegation, has condemned the targeting of civilians in Bani Hushaysh and Al-Wazi’iyah, holding the Saudi regime accountable for the repercussions of its actions. He emphasized that fulfilling peace obligations would be less costly than continuing aggression, which leads to disgrace.
According to Yemen News Agency, Abdulsalam communicated via a post on X, stating that the Saudi regime is mistaken if it believes that targeting innocent people will weaken the resolve of the Yemeni people. He asserted that Yemenis remain steadfast in their legitimate right to reclaim full sovereignty, free of regional or international influence.
Abdulsalam accused the Saudi regime of targeting civilians in non-combat areas, such as markets and villages, resulting in horrific massacres. He highlighted recent incidents, including an attack on Al-Shariya village in Bani Hushaysh District, Sana'a Governorate, where rescue workers were also targeted, preventing them from assisting victims.
He further recalled a brutal massacre at Al-Hadara market in Al-Wazi’iyah District, Taiz Governorate, which occurred the previous day, resulting in over 30 civilian deaths and numerous injuries. The images from the scene, he noted, revealed the extent of the Saudi regime's crimes, showing deliberate targeting of public places to maximize casualties, akin to Israeli actions in Gaza.
Abdulsalam concluded that these massacres and the targeting of factories and remote areas away from battlefronts do not compensate for military failures. Rather, the humanitarian, moral, and legal consequences of such crimes are more severe for the perpetrators than any battlefield defeat.
