Shura Council Condemns Saudi Strikes in Bani Hushaish, Citing Humanitarian Violations

Sana'a:The Shura Council has issued a strong condemnation of a recent attack by Saudi forces in the Al-Shariyah area of Bani Hushaish district. The council criticized the attack as evidence of Saudi Arabia's disregard for international and humanitarian laws, highlighting the Saudi military's actions as surpassing even those attributed to the Zionist entity in terms of criminality and bloodthirstiness.

According to Yemen News Agency, the attack resulted in 52 casualties, with women and children comprising the majority of those affected. The council detailed the assault, which involved a direct strike on homes and farms during peak hours, causing significant damage to property and resulting in both deaths and injuries among civilians.

The Shura Council also condemned a subsequent strike on the same location, which targeted first responders, medical personnel, and media crews during their rescue and documentation efforts. This repeat attack was described as a violation of international and humanitarian norms and laws. The council emphasized that such actions demonstrate a complete abandonment of religious, moral, and humanitarian values, as well as traditional Arab virtues.

Furthermore, the council identified the targeting of civilians and civilian objects as a war crime, likening Saudi tactics to those of the Zionist entity. The council also accused Saudi Arabia of attempting to hide its failures by committing massacres against innocent people. It called for a general mobilization among Yemeni tribes to support the front lines, urging a strong response to deter future aggression and to seek retribution.

The Shura Council held Saudi Arabia fully responsible for the ongoing violations, asserting that these crimes are not subject to a statute of limitations and that the Yemeni people's sacrifices will only strengthen their unity and resilience against aggression.
