News - Yemen: The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, affirmed that the Zionist aggression on Yemen is due to its stance in supporting the just cause in the occupied land.

He stated that the Zionist aggression on Yemen is an aggression against everyone and that all Muslims must support and stand by their brothers.

Sheikh Al-Khalili made the remarks on Saturday, hours after Israeli warplanes targeted civilian buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in the Yemeni province of Hodeidah, killing three citizens and injuring 87 others.

Brushing off official accounts that the airstrikes had targeted civilian structures, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari alleged that the regime’s aircraft had struck “military targets” in Hodeidah.

He also said the strikes had come in response to the attacks that the Yemeni Armed Forces had been carrying out against the occupied Palestinian territories over the past months.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have been targeting the territories as well as Israeli ships and vessels affiliated with the occupying regime since October 7, when Tel Aviv began a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip. They have vowed to keep up their operations as long as the regime sustains the war and a simultaneous siege that it has been enforcing against the Palestinian territory.
