Houthi militia Blow Up Several Civilian Homes in Yemen's Amran
Iran-backed Houthi militants have deliberately blown up multiple civilian homes in the Qafla 'Adhr district of Yemen's Amran Governorate, local sources and Eyewitnesses said Sunday.
Eyewitnesses told Khabar Agency that Houthi forces rigged and detonated houses belonging to the Al-Bakr Al-Warwari family in Ghareb Al-Sawda, reducing them to rubble. The militia justified the destruction by claiming the residents were linked to opposing tribal factions.
The operation was reportedly overseen by Ali Yahya 'Ashish (alias Abu Mohammed), the Houthi-appointed security chief and de facto administrator of Qafla 'Adhr.
The attacks have ignited fierce backlash across social media and local communities, with activists condemning the Houthis' escalating campaign of intimidation against resisting tribes in Amran.
This incident follows a well-documented pattern of the Houthis targeting dissenters through home demolitions—a tactic unprecedented in Yemen's modern conflicts. Since launching their insurgency in late 2014, the group has blown up approximately 900 homes nationwide.

Gaza Government Media Office: Health & Humanitarian Situation in Gaza reaches total collapse
Gaza – SABA: The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip has declared that the health and humanitarian situation in the territory has reached a stage of total collapse due to the ongoing policies of genocide carried out by the Israeli occupation. Ismail Al-Thawabta, Director General of the Media Office, told the Palestinian Safa news agency on Friday that Gaza is facing a catastrophic food crisis and famine as Israel systematically prevents the entry of food, resulting in actual cases of starvation. He explained that the absence of hygiene and the leakage of sewage have led to the spread of epidemics and skin and digestive diseases in overcrowded shelter centers. Al-Thawabta added that the near-total destruction of water and electricity infrastructure has rendered basic services unavailable to the majority of the population. He stressed that this situation constitutes not only a humanitarian catastrophe but an ongoing crime against humanity that amounts to genocide under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. He noted that Israel has deliberately committed massacres against Palestinian civilians and families in Gaza, with over 15,000 massacres reported since the start of the genocide campaign. Among these, 14,000 families have been subjected to massacres, with 2,483 families completely erased from the civil registry, totaling 7,120 martyrs. Additionally, 5,620 families were mostly wiped out, leaving only one survivor in each, with a death toll of 10,151 martyrs. 'This pattern of targeting clearly reflects a genocidal intent and contradicts the rules of international humanitarian law, particularly the four Geneva Conventions, which prohibit attacks against civilians and protected families,' Al-Thawabta stated. Regarding hospital attacks, he emphasized that the systematic targeting of hospitals, shelters, and the killing of children is not random, but part of a deliberate strategy to inflict maximum pain and destruction for multiple objectives. These objectives, according to Al-Thawabta, include depopulating the land through mass killings of children and families to force displacement, dismantling societal resilience structures including the healthcare system, shelters, schools, mosques, and churches, and paralyzing humanitarian and medical efforts to increase death tolls and deepen the catastrophe. These acts aim to use suffering as a political bargaining tool, which is in blatant violation of international law. He pointed out that under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, targeting protected medical and humanitarian facilities constitutes a clear war crime. Al-Thawabta confirmed that since March 18, the pace of Israeli crimes has seen a bloody escalation aimed at enforcing a 'surrender or genocide' equation before summer, using starvation and brutal bombardment as pressure tools. This includes the destruction of what remains of community infrastructure in Rafah – the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced people – where a major massacre occurred. The escalation also aims to create a state of total shock to obstruct any political or field solutions, enforce new realities on the ground, and attempt a final forced displacement from Gaza – all in direct violation of international law and amounting to a crime of mass deportation. Al-Thawabta highlighted the catastrophic outcomes of this escalation, including over 5,500 civilian deaths in just two months and the destruction of thousands of tents and shelter centers in southern Gaza, including the so-called 'safe zone.' This also included attacks on rescue teams and field hospitals, rendering the remaining humanitarian response systems inoperative. He concluded by asserting that what is happening in Gaza is not just a military assault, but a described and systematic act of genocide being perpetrated by the occupying forces amid a disgraceful international silence and absence of accountability. Al-Thawabta called on relevant international bodies, particularly the International Criminal Court and the United Nations, to act immediately to halt this genocide and hold its perpetrators accountable.

Excerpts of Sayyid Leader speech about latest developments 02 Dhu al-Hijjah 1446
Sana'a - (Saba): The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: When we reflect on the tragedy of the Palestinian people, we must recognise that it spans a full seventy-seven years and should not be viewed merely through the lens of a single week's suffering. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The enemy's targeting of the nine children of that Palestinian doctor is one of the recurring tragedies endured by the Palestinian people. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Zionist aid distribution plan is a deceptive tactic and a farce, designed deliberately to engineer starvation in the Gaza Strip. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The mechanism for distributing that aid is an internationally unacceptable farce. No one should accept it, and any international party that does—be it the UN or other organizations—is complicit in violating all international conventions and human rights. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The anniversary of the Zionist Jewish occupation of Al-Quds remains one of the darkest memories of our Islamic Ummah. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Ummah must assess its reality and the mounting threats to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the Israeli enemy persists in hostile steps aimed ultimately at its destruction. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Israel makes no secret of its intention to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque; this goal is openly declared, and the measures to achieve it are laid bare. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: There are now twenty-seven tunnels and excavations beneath and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, through which the enemy seeks to cause the mosque to collapse. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: It was evident from the scale of Zionist incursions and the rituals performed within the Al-Aqsa Mosque that they are actively working to Judaise it and erase its Islamic identity. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Jews chanted 'Death to Arabs' in the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a chant they have been repeating for 77 years as a clear expression of their hostility towards all Arabs. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Jews' chants are an insult to all the prophets, to the Seal of the Prophets (PBUH&F), and to the exalted and sacred status of prophethood and divine message. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: While the Jews' persistent display of disbelief, evil, and corruption is not surprising, what is truly shocking is the widespread silence and passivity of the Arab and Muslim world. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy harbours deep hatred towards all Arabs and Muslims and does not even recognise them as human beings! #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Jews view those they call goyim—meaning non-Jews from other human societies—as mere animals, even beneath the level of animals. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Islam embodies the values of goodness, justice, noble ethics, and innate human values, while the Zionist Jews stand as enemies of all these values. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Zionist Jews represent the very essence of evil through their beliefs, behaviours, and actions, and this is plain to see in what they are doing to Gaza. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Zionist Jews have revealed themselves to the entire world as a force of evil, darkness, and corruption, driven by hatred and utterly devoid of respect for universally shared human values. The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Even as people across the globe call for an end to the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, the Zionist Jews ignore these pleas with utter indifference. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The tools with which the Israeli enemy digs tunnels and excavations beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Quds are used to destroy the history, present, and future of the Muslim Ummah. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy stands ready to commit the same crimes against your children as it did against the children of Palestine. # Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Israeli enemy's plans for Mecca, the Sacred House, the rituals of Hajj, Medina, and the Mosque of the Prophet (PBUH&F) are not different from those plans targeting other Islamic holy sites. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The resilience of the Palestinian people is the main reason the Israeli enemy has been unable to push forward with the rest of its agenda. # Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: To compensate for its failures, the Israeli enemy has turned to horrific crimes, genocide, starvation, and the deliberate targeting of hospitals and the displaced. The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Americans are providing full support—with all kinds of weapons, financial backing using trillions from Arab wealth, media and political support, and even incitement! # Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: There have been repeated calls by members of the U.S. Congress for the complete extermination of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip using nuclear bombs! #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: What is happening in Syria confirms that no one is safe from the Israeli enemy. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Red Sea remains closed to the Israeli enemy, with navigation fully prohibited for it. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: There is no movement of ships linked to the Israeli enemy in the area of operations in the Red Sea, from Bab Al-Mandab to the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Once again, I call upon and appeal to five Arab and Islamic regimes to end their cooperation with the Israeli enemy. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The Israeli aggression on Sana'a Airport will not stop Yemeni operations in support of the Palestinian people. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Any sacrifices we make for the sake of Allah are honourable sacrifices, as we take a practical and jihadist stand against the Israeli enemy. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: We seek escalation in support of the Palestinian people, and upcoming operations will be more effective and impactful against the Israeli enemy. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Over the span of 20 months, our people carried out 2,112,701 activities, including demonstrations, marches, and various protest actions. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: The failure of the American aggression against our country is a great success by Allah's grace and a tremendous victory for our dear people. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: Responding to Allah and moving forward in His cause builds the Ummah—making it strong, effective, dignified, free, resilient, and steadfast in facing challenges. #Master_Of_Words_And_Deeds #We_Will_Not_Abandon_Gaza The leader Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi: There is consensus in the West on the failure of the second round of American escalation against our country in support of Israel.

Muslim Scholars Union calls for designating Friday as day of support for Al-Aqsa Mosque
Occupied Quds - Saba: The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) called on Thursday for tomorrow's Friday to be a day of solidarity with Al-Aqsa Mosque and outrage over the genocide in the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the union said, 'In light of its religious and moral responsibility, the IUMS urges the scholars, preachers, imams, and religious leaders of the Muslim Ummah to make this Friday—3 Dhu al-Hijjah 1446 AH, corresponding to May 30, 2025—a day of support for Al-Aqsa and condemnation of the occupation's crimes in Gaza.' The union renewed its call for a "broad Islamic mobilization" to express absolute rejection of the aggression and affirm the Ummah's support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people. It demanded that Friday sermons be dedicated to condemning the Israeli enemy's aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque and its atrocities in Gaza, while praising any stance calling for an end to the war and the genocide. Additionally, the IUMS called for organizing peaceful, civilized demonstrations in major cities and capitals, as well as in front of embassies and international missions, to amplify the Ummah's voice and pressure for an end to the aggression and the lifting of the siege, according to the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency.
