News - Middle East:  The Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemned, on Sunday, the flagrant Israeli aggression on Yemen, and warned of the dangerous repercussions of Israeli attacks aiming at destabilizing the whole region.

Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement to SANA “The Israeli occupation entity escalated on Saturday its flagrant aggression on different regions, among which was the aggression on brotherly Yemen, by targeting several civilian facilities, leaving a number of martyrs and dozens of wounded

Syria stressed solidarity with the Yemeni people, considered the Israeli criminal acts of aggression as evidence of the despair state the entity has reached after nine months of killing, destruction, and genocidal war against the Palestinians.

On Saturday, 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.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sare'e announced after the airstrikes that the response to Israeli aggression would include "vital targets of the Israeli enemy," reiterating their previous statement that Yafa (Jaffa) is considered an unsafe area.
