Yemeni Civilians Suffer Casualties Amid US-Zionist Aggression

General

Sana'a: Civilians have been killed and wounded, and civilian property has been destroyed due to US-Zionist aggression on the capital, Sana'a, and the governorates of Hodeida, Jawf, and Sana'a over the past 24 hours.

According to Yemen News Agency, two civilians were killed and 42 others were injured, based on a preliminary toll, from airstrikes launched by the US-Zionist aggression on the Bajil Cement Factory in Hodeida Governorate. Six airstrikes were also launched on the port of Hodeida, targeting the docks and rendering it inoperative.

Three airstrikes targeted the Ras Issa oil port, which has been subjected to multiple airstrikes in recent days. Additionally, the US-Zionist aggression launched six airstrikes on the Al-Sawad area in the Sanhan district of Sana'a Governorate and 15 airstrikes on the Al-Hazm district of Jawf Governorate.

The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, along with local political parties and organizations, have condemned the aggression on the governorates and the destruction of the port of Hodeida and the Bajil Cement Factory. In separate statements received by the Yemen News Agency (Saba), they emphasized that targeting civilian facilities under international protection, such as the port of Hodeida, aims to starve and destroy the Yemeni people and is a violation of Yemen's sovereignty.

The statements highlighted the Zionist entity's use of 48 guided bombs to destroy a civilian port as evidence of a deliberate intent to damage civilians and infrastructure, constituting a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. The silence of the United Nations and its humanitarian agencies was criticized as permitting the aggressor entity and the United States to continue committing crimes.

Furthermore, the statements warned against Israel's attempts to use claims of "response and defense" to obscure clear and proven crimes. They affirmed their support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' response, calling for escalation until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.

Minister of Information Hashem Sharaf al-Din confirmed that the Israeli targeting of the port and cement factory expands the Yemeni Armed Forces' target bank deep inside the Zionist entity.
