Sana'a - Saba:
The Eye of Humanity Center for Rights and Development condemned in the strongest terms the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation entity, this morning, by targeting Sana'a International Airport with several airstrikes, which led to the destruction of the last remaining civilian plane of Yemenia Air, less than half an hour after it landed in preparation for transporting pilgrims to perform the Hajj.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Center explained that this heinous crime is a continuation of a series of flagrant violations of international humanitarian law, the latest of which was the systematic aggression earlier this month, which resulted in the destruction of three Yemeni civilian aircraft, in addition to the airport's reception and departure halls, which led to an almost complete disruption of civil aviation in the Republic of Yemen.
The statement pointed out that the Zionist enemy's targeting of civilian aircraft in broad daylight, in full view of the international community, especially the targeting of the plane that was intended to transport Yemeni pilgrims, constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a blatant violation of the sanctity of religious rituals and the right of movement guaranteed by law.
The Eye of Humanity Center held the United Nations, the Security Council, and international human rights organizations fully responsible for their shameful and suspicious silence regarding this repeated aggression against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen. He called for breaking the silence, immediate and urgent action to stop the Zionist aggression on Yemen, and the opening of a transparent and independent international investigation into these crimes.
He also called on all free people of the world, civil society organizations and human rights institutions to stand in solidarity with the Yemeni people in the face of this iniquitous aggression and to lift the unjust siege imposed on the country for years.
He pointed out that what happened at Sana'a International Airport on Wednesday is a clear declaration that the occupation entity does not hesitate to hinder and obstruct one of the pillars of Islam, with its religious symbolism and sacred feelings for Yemenis, which reflects the nature of this terrorist entity based on killing, terrorizing and violating human and religious rights.
