Sana’a - (Saba):
The recent Israeli attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in Yemen—including Sana’a International Airport, power generation stations, and the Amran Cement Factory—represent a dangerous escalation in what Yemeni officials have described as a criminal act of aggression.
In response, authorities in Sana’a have warned that this provocation will be met with a painful and decisive retaliation, while reaffirming Yemen's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause.
In reaction to the intensifying aggression and the direct targeting of non-military facilities, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a senior member of the Supreme Political Council, posted on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that Yemen’s support for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip will not waver. He further warned that a response to the Israeli assault on Yemeni territory is inevitable and urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prepare for his resignation.
Al-Houthi emphasized that neither American nor Israeli intimidation will deter the Yemeni people. He reiterated the nation's unwavering resilience and readiness to face all forms of aggression and threats, regardless of their origin.
Reaffirming Yemen’s principled stance, he stated: "What we have refused to accept for the Palestinian people, we will not allow to be imposed on our own soil. The aggressor will face consequences, God willing."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates also strongly condemned the Israeli strikes, stating that such acts of aggression against civilian targets will not go unpunished. The Ministry labeled the attacks a blatant violation of Yemen’s sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity, and a clear breach of the UN Charter and international law.
The Ministry added that targeting civilian infrastructure equates to targeting the Yemeni people and their resources. It reflects, in their view, the failure of the Zionist entity to achieve any tangible objectives in Yemen, prompting it to fabricate a symbolic victory through acts of desperation.
Political analysts have pointed out that these airstrikes demonstrate the confusion and strategic failure currently plaguing the Israeli regime. They argue that the growing effectiveness of Yemen’s military operations—especially following the imposition of a blockade and air embargo on Israeli airports—has pushed Tel Aviv to resort to retaliatory attacks on non-military targets.
Analysts further stated that such attacks are a transparent attempt by Israel and its American allies to break the will of the Yemeni people and to halt Yemen's military operations against vital Israeli interests. However, rather than weaken Yemeni resolve, these actions are expected to bolster national determination across leadership, citizens, and the armed forces. The people of Yemen, they stressed, remain deeply committed to their religious and moral responsibility to support the oppressed in Gaza.
Commentators and observers argue that Israel’s repeated targeting of civilian infrastructure is indicative of its ongoing disarray and the lack of clear military objectives. They maintain that such actions will not succeed in altering Yemen’s unwavering support for Gaza, which continues to face what they describe as a campaign of genocide. They called on all Arab and Muslim nations and peoples to stand in solidarity with Gaza, as a religious, humanitarian, and moral obligation—following Yemen’s example.
Military experts have warned that Israel’s attacks on Yemeni infrastructure and national resources will have severe repercussions. Yemen, they assert, possesses an extensive and strategic bank of military targets deep within Israeli territory and its critical interests. Accordingly, the Yemeni armed forces are expected to launch a strong and proportionate response, ensuring that these acts of aggression will not go unanswered.
