News - Yemen: Yemen's Parliament condemned the recent Israeli aggression on the Syrian capital, Damascus, particularly the targeting of civilian headquarters and residential homes belonging to the Islamic Jihad Movement.

The attack was deemed a violation of Syria’s sovereignty, an infringement of international and humanitarian law, and an assault on peaceful cities.

During its session on Saturday, chaired by Speaker of the Parliament Yahya Al-Re’e, the Parliament described the Zionist regime’s crimes against civilians as a sign of military and political failure, marking a disastrous defeat for the forces of resistance against the Zionist aggression, which is supported by the US and Britain. The Parliament also praised the operations carried out by resistance fighters against the Israeli occupying forces.

At least fifteen people have lost their lives after Israeli military aircraft carried out airstrikes against positions in the western flank of Damascus and the outskirts of the Syrian capital.

Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that Israeli warplanes launched an assault from the direction of occupied Golan Heights at around 3:20 p.m. local time (1220 GMT) on Thursday, targeting several residential buildings in the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus and the Qudsaya area in the Damascus countryside.

The source added that the attack resulted in 15 people killed and 16 others injured.

He noted that there were women and children among the casualties and that the toll was preliminary and could rise.

The Israeli airstrikes against Syria come amid the Zionist regime’s bloody onslaughts against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, and the Lebanese nation.

Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on Gaza, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, after Palestinian resistance movements carried out an unprecedented military operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood against the regime on October 7, 2023.

More than 43,799 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while 103,601 individuals have sustained injuries.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, at least 3,365 people, including 216 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Arab country since October 2023.
