Civil Aviation Authority condemns Yemen Airways' Aden Branch decision to reject tickets issued in Sana'a
Sana'a - SABA:
The General Authority of Civil Aviation and Meteorology has strongly condemned the recent directive issued by the Aden-based management of Yemen Airways, which prohibits accepting tickets issued in the capital, Sana'a, or making any changes or confirmations to such bookings. The directive also threatens legal accountability for any violations.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Authority declared the directive to be in clear violation of civil aviation laws and a blatant infringement on the rights of Yemeni citizens.
The statement emphasized that those most affected by this decision are patients stranded abroad who are already facing dire economic and living conditions, making it difficult for them to purchase new tickets. It further asserted that internal administrative disputes within the airline should not be resolved at the expense of ordinary citizens, especially considering that Yemen Airways is the only national carrier and is collectively owned by the Yemeni people.
The Authority called on the airline's management in Aden to uphold its national and legal responsibilities and not to become a tool for enacting retaliatory policies that harm the interests and dignity of Yemenis.
The Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority urged the Aden branch of Yemen Airways to immediately rescind this directive unconditionally and to separate public service from internal conflicts. It also called for urgent measures to ensure the continuity of aviation services for all Yemenis without discrimination.

'Palestinian Ahrar' Movement calls for urgent International Intervention to halt Occupation's Aggression and Genocide
Gaza – SABA: The Palestinian Ahrar Movement has called for urgent international intervention to curb the Nazi-like aggression and ongoing genocide committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people. The movement urged the activation and enforcement of all international resolutions regarding the Palestinian cause to protect the rights of the Palestinian people as an occupied nation on occupied land. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement stated that Israel's exploitation of its genocidal campaign and the international silence towards its crimes reflects utter disregard for the international order and a lack of fear of consequences or sanctions. The statement highlighted Israel's escalating military operations and widespread arrests across cities and villages in the West Bank—including Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Tuqu', Sir, Burqa, Turmus Ayya, Sinjil, and Beit Ummar—under the guise of self-proclaimed legitimacy for revenge and genocide. The movement also accused the occupation of deliberately provoking religious tensions by allowing settlers to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, conduct Talmudic rituals, and perform symbolic prayers—a move it described as a push toward igniting a regional religious war. It further condemned the settler attacks on Palestinian farmers in the northern Jordan Valley areas of Qa'oun and Bardala, including the destruction and burning of crops. The Ahrar Movement called on the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Jerusalem to resist all these invasions and escalate armed resistance, emphasizing heroic operations that would wound and destabilize the enemy and deter settler mobs. Finally, the movement urged Palestinians in the West Bank, occupied Jerusalem, and 1948 territories to converge on Al-Aqsa Mosque, maintain permanent presence and spiritual defense, and sacrifice their lives to protect its sanctity from what it described as 'the defilement of Jewish extremists' and their daily incursions.

Death Toll of Palestinians rises to 33 amid continued Israeli Aggression Across Gaza
Gaza – SABA: The number of Palestinians martyred since early Monday in the Gaza Strip has risen to 33 due to ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas, as part of the genocide campaign launched on October 7, 2023. In the latest assault, five Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed a populated house belonging to the Al-Nadeem family in central Gaza City, according to a medical source. Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that several victims remain trapped under the rubble, while civil defense teams are working with extremely limited resources to rescue them. Earlier, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israel targeted the upper floor of Al-Aisha School, which was sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. The same source reported that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Barsh family home in Jabalia, northern Gaza, has risen from 9 to 16. The bodies of the victims were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and Al-Baptist Hospital in the east. Additionally, one Palestinian woman was martyred and others injured in an Israeli strike on the Junaid family home in Jabalia. Earlier Monday, four Palestinians were martyred and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting civilians near Abu Sharakh roundabout in northern Gaza. In central Gaza, one Palestinian was martyred and two others critically injured in an Israeli strike on a municipal vehicle in Al-Bureij. Eyewitnesses said the martyr was a municipal employee. No official statement has been issued by the municipality. Two fishermen were also injured by Israeli gunfire while working on the Gaza City coast. At dawn Monday, three Palestinians were martyred by Israeli gunfire while attempting to collect 'aid' near a U.S.-operated distribution center west of Rafah City. Dozens of others were injured by Israeli gunfire near the same center, which is managed by an American company with Israeli approval. One Palestinian, injured by Israeli fire while attempting to collect aid west of Rafah, died from his wounds on Sunday, according to the same medical source. Away from UN and international humanitarian supervision, Israel began on May 27 implementing a controversial aid distribution scheme through the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' backed by Israeli and American entities. Distribution occurs in so-called 'buffer zones' in southern Gaza, but the plan appears to be failing due to overwhelming crowds of starving civilians and repeated Israeli gunfire on the gathered crowds, resulting in deaths and injuries. Since last Tuesday, the total number of victims at these 'aid distribution points' has reached 52 martyrs and 340 injured, with Israeli forces reportedly turning the sites into 'mass killing traps,' according to the Gaza Government Media Office and Health Ministry data as of midday Monday. Meanwhile, Israel intensified its nighttime air and artillery bombardments on various parts of Gaza, especially in the north and east of Gaza City. Eyewitnesses reported the continued demolition of residential buildings in eastern Gaza City, northern governorate areas, and east of Khan Younis in the south. They also confirmed that Israeli forces destroyed 'Al-Ansar Mosque' in Deir al-Balah after targeting it with three missiles. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
