News - Yemen: The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against the province of Hodeidah.

The Ministry described the Israeli criminal actions as evidence of the state of bankruptcy and desperation that the entity has reached after nine months of killing and destruction in Gaza.

It stated that the Zionist entity mistakenly believes that aggression against Yemen will stop it from supporting the Palestinian people and advocating for their just cause.

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned of the serious consequences of the Israeli attacks, which aim to drag the region into a comprehensive confrontation with undesirable outcomes.

It called for urgent international intervention to restrain the arrogance of the leaders of the occupying Zionist enemy and their supporters.

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.
