News - Middle East: Yemen's Parliament condemned the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy forces against the Palestinian and Syrian people, the latest of which was the assassination of Palestinian leaders and their families in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the council denounced the terrorist crime, which resulted in the killing of 13 people, including three leaders of Islamic Jihad movement, along with their children and wives, and injury of 20 others, including women and children.

The statement pointed out that this crime is added to the series of crimes committed by the Zionist entity against humanity, in addition to its repeated violations of international laws and conventions.

The statement held the puppet Arab regimes and regimes that normalized with the Israeli enemy responsible for this crime, which represents a disgrace to those regimes that betray the causes of their nation and its sanctities.

It also denounced the silence of the international community towards these crimes, which the Zionist entity persisted in committing with the help of the American support.

It reaffirmed the full solidarity with the Palestinian people, and that whatever afflicts them afflicts Yemen, based on the fact that Palestine is the first and central issue of the Nation.

At least three high-profile commanders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement have been assassinated after Israeli military aircraft launched a series of targeted strikes on the Gaza Strip, days after a fiery flare-up of violence set the besieged coastal enclave on edge.

At least 12 Palestinians were killed in the strikes and 20 others were wounded, according to Palestinian reports, with a number of sites in Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Yunis targeted, among other locations.

The Israeli military said in a statement that the Islamic Jihad resistance commanders in the strikes include Khalil Bahitini, the commander of the al-Quds Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip, Tariq Izz al-Din, a spokesperson for the movement who also manages retaliatory operations in the West Bank and Gaza, and Jihad al-Ghannam, secretary of the movement’s military council.

Following the onset of air raids, dubbed Operation Shield and Arrow, Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant declared a “special situation at the top” and approved the call-up of reservists “for required roles according to needs.”

Highways were closed around the Gaza Strip border, railway traffic south of the city of Ashkelon was halted, and special instructions were issued by the Home Front Command to the public.
