Sana'a - Saba:
In a new escalation that reflects the terrorist face of the US-Zionist aggression, enemy aircraft launched a series of raids targeting a number of civilian and service facilities in Sana'a, Hodeida and Amran provinces, killing and wounding people and causing extensive damage to vital facilities upon which millions of Yemenis depend for their daily lives.
Sana'a International Airport, Hodeidah Port, the Haziz and Dhahban power stations, and the Amran and Bajel cement factories have become direct targets in this criminal escalation, reaffirming once again that the enemy makes no distinction between military and civilian sites and does not hesitate to use starvation, destruction, and bloodshed as a means of pressure.
The blatant Zionist crimes came at a sensitive time in the nation's struggle, as Yemen leads the Arab and Islamic support for Gaza and all of Palestine. This position has remained unshaken since the beginning of the Zionist aggression, but has grown more resolute with every massacre committed against children and women in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Zionist-American bombing was not for a military purpose, but rather to punish a people who chose to stand with the oppressed and transform their battle into an arena for breaking their will. The Yemeni response was firm and clear: There is no neutrality in the nation's issues and no retreat from supporting Palestine.
The civilian casualties were not accidental, but rather a direct result of targeting service facilities that millions rely on, in a blatant violation of all international humanitarian law conventions. This requires the free world not to remain a spectator to the shedding of innocent blood due to American-Zionist aggression and international silence.
Sana'a International Airport, targeted today, is not a military base, but rather the sole humanitarian outlet for the Yemeni people, transporting medicine, aid, and patients. Paralyzing it would deepen the catastrophe and expose thousands to a slow death, by joint Zionist and American decision.
The Amran and Bajel cement factories were not military sites, but productive facilities that provide Yemenis with a source of livelihood and reconstruction materials. Targeting them reveals the criminal tendencies of the aggression and its efforts to undermine the pillars of internal steadfastness and destroy any capacity for independent life.
The barbaric Zionist bombing is the other side of the same hand that is killing the people of Gaza, besieging and starving them, and denying them access to medicine. Today, it is attempting to cut off the lifeline to Sana'a, Hodeida, Sa'ada, and every governorate that has stood firm in the face of the aggression.
In the face of Zionist arrogance, Yemen—its people, army, and leadership—proves that civilian blood is not negotiable, and that every drop shed for Gaza is met with a pledge and promise to retaliate, not only in defense of sovereignty, but also of the honor of the entire nation.
The Yemeni Armed Forces, which have so far adhered to the rules of ethical engagement, are called upon today to expand deterrence options, enforce the no-fly zone over enemy airports, and double down on targeted operations that will halt the killing machine.
The Yemeni people are paying the price for their stance, but they are doing so with awareness and insight, realizing that those who do not pay the price of honor in this world will pay double that price in humiliation in the afterlife, and that the path to Jerusalem is paved with patience, blood, and sacrifice.
The enemy's attempt to halt Yemeni support for Gaza through these raids has failed from the outset. Yemen chose this path out of faith, not out of pretense, and neither pain nor siege will deter it from standing with the oppressed, no matter how great the sacrifices.
The repeated Zionist aggression is an extension of a Zionist battle against all the free people of the nation. Through it, they seek to punish anyone who disobeys the American command and anyone who raises the slogan "Palestine is the destination of battle." Yet they fail to realize that Yemen does not belong to this submissive category.
Today, Yemen shares the siege, bombardment, and bloodshed with Gaza. It also shares the same meaning and stance. It understands that what is taking place is a struggle for existence and destiny between a vulnerable nation and an arrogant enemy that knows no mercy for humanity.
The massacres being perpetrated today in Sana'a, Hodeida, Amran, and other provinces require urgent legal action, a demand to form an independent international committee to investigate these crimes, and to hold Washington and Tel Aviv accountable before international courts as direct parties to the aggression.
The suspicious international silence regarding these attacks places the UN system in a position of complicity and underscores the need to build a parallel international front of free peoples to hold the killers and their financiers accountable.
The responsibility of the people of the nation today is to stand with both Yemen and Palestine, and not allow the Zionist settler to enjoy life in the occupied Palestinian territories while the children of Gaza starve and the people of Sana'a are killed. This is a battle of conscience from which the complacent will not be spared.
The Zionist crimes come at a time when popular calls are escalating from various Arab countries for Arab armies to abandon their dependence and pledge allegiance to Allah, His Messenger, and the blood of innocents, not to embassies and sultans. History will not be merciful to those who fail, nor will Allah forgive those who sell out their cause and nation for a cheap price.
After the bombing of Yemeni provinces, the destruction of infrastructure and services, and the shedding of civilian blood, the equation has changed. The only option today is to respond, expand deterrence operations, and escalate until the Zionist killing machine stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
Yemen stands with Gaza today, defending the dignity of the nation, and teaching everyone that true support is not measured by the number of missiles, but by the steadfastness of one's stance, and that in an era of Arab humiliation, there are still those who fight for humanity, the cause, and the future.
