Resistance groups condemn US, Israel aggression in Yemen
Islamic resistance groups and factions have condemned the US and Israel attacks against the people of Yemen as acts of war crimes.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on Monday labeled the airstrikes as state terrorism and a war crime, accusing Israel of targeting Yemen for its solidarity with Gaza.
The group added that the strikes were an attempt to salvage Tel Aviv’s damaged reputation after failing to intercept a Yemeni missile.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement also described the US-Israeli attack as a sign of Tel Aviv’s frustration over the Yemeni blockade.
Islamic Jihad called the strikes a desperate act of revenge to mask strategic losses of the US and Israel, expressing confidence in Yemen’s continued military support for Palestine.
Lebanon’s Islamic resistance movement, Hezbollah, also slammed the aggression on Yemen as a violation of international law and hailed Yemen’s resilience.
The group warned that the aggression would only strengthen Yemen’s resolve to escalate pressure on Israel through its blockade.
Hezbollah also urged resistance forces worldwide to confront what it called Zionist-American arrogance.
Hezbollah urged all free nations and forces of resistance to condemn the attack and act decisively against Zionist-American arrogance.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine also condemned the Israeli aggression, stating that it “reflects the extent of the Zionist-American impotence in undermining the determination of the Yemeni people, breaking their free will, and subjugating them.”
The Popular Front saluted the Yemeni people and their leadership, in addition to their messages of fire with blessed missiles that “embody the unity of Palestinian-Yemeni blood and the shared destiny of the nation.”
On Monday night, dozens of Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on targets in Yemen.
Local Yemeni media reports said more than 30 Israeli jets were involved in targeting the port city of Hudaydah.
Israel launched 50 airstrikes on Yemen’s Hudaydah region and a cement factory to the east.
A senior US official confirmed that the aerial raids were being carried out in close coordination with the US, Israel’s biggest benefactor and a complicit in the ongoing brutal military campaign in Gaza.
Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported the US had launched 35 strikes since May 4 and targeted several Yemeni provinces, including al-Jawf and Marib.
Since March, the US, along with Britain and Israel, has launched daily airstrikes on Yemen and claims to have struck more than 1,000 targets in the Arab country.
The campaign aims to halt the Yemeni military’s strikes on Israeli and Israeli-linked vessels in Red Sea shipping lanes as well as their operations that have been hitting targets deep within the occupied Palestinian territories.
The latest Israeli-US aggression comes following a ballistic missile strike from Yemen that hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Yemeni military said it carried out a fresh retaliatory operation against Israel in support of the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip.
