Justice & Human Rights Ministry condemns Zionist terrorist aggression on Hodeidah
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned today's Zionist terrorist aggression on Hodeidah province.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the ministry said that the Zionist enemy aircraft launched on Monday a series of aggressive raids targeting Al-Hodeidah port and a number of civilian areas in Al-Hodeidah province.
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights pointed out that this crime once again reveals the criminal and aggressive nature of the Zionist entity. It stressed that the aggression against Yemen is an extension of the Zionist enemy's criminal plans, after it targeted and continues to target Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, as part of the Zio-American project aimed at starving the peoples of the region and subjugating them by force.
It considered this aggression a new crime added to the record of war crimes and extermination committed by the Zionist enemy entity against the peoples of the region, in flagrant violation of all international norms and laws, especially the United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions, which criminalise the targeting of civilian facilities and objects, and vital ports that represent a lifeline for millions of people.
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights warned of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of targeting Hodeidah port, as it is the main maritime outlet for food and medicine to reach millions of Yemenis under a blockade and aggression that has been ongoing for years.
It held the international community and the United Nations, led by the Security Council, legally and morally responsible for their silence and complicity in the face of this crime, as well as previous crimes that threaten international peace and security and flout all humanitarian and legal principles.
The Ministry reaffirmed the legitimate right of the Republic of Yemen to take whatever defence options it deems appropriate to protect its sovereignty, people and territory from any external aggression.
It called on all free and honourable people of the world and international and regional human rights organisations to condemn this cowardly Zionist aggression and take urgent action to document this crime , submit it to the competent international courts and forums to ensure that war criminals do not go unpunished, as it is a full-fledged war crime.

Iran claims it sent helicopter to warn US destroyer in attempt to project force
Iran is seeking to regain some sense of pride in the wake of its drubbing at the hands of Israel and the US during the 12-day war that ended a month ago, on June 24. As such, Iran has decided to have its state media celebrate claims that one of its military helicopters warned a US destroyer to stay away from Iranian waters in the Gulf of Oman. US Naval Institute USNI news site noted that 'US Central Command is denying an American guided-missile destroyer violated Iranian waters, disputing claims in Iranian state media.' Tasnim News in Iran said that on July 23 at around 10 a.m., the USS Fitzgerald 'intended to approach the waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran.' The Iranian navy's Third Nabataean Region Aviation Readiness Team (Nadaja) flew over this extra-regional vessel as quickly as possible by helicopter and issued a warning for it to move. In response, the American destroyer threatened to target the Iranian helicopter and demanded that it leave the area. However, the Iranian pilot resolutely continued his mission and once again repeated the warning to stay away from Iranian waters. An Iranian SH-3 Sea King helicopter was used in the incident to communicate with the US vessel. For Iran, this was a small victory. It wanted to prove that it continues to control its territorial waters, and that it is monitoring US naval movements. Iran doesn't want to provoke a new conflict, but it wants to show it is still a country capable of projecting force. The Iranian media presents this as a case of a helicopter warning the US vessel to change course. Clearly, a small helicopter would not be a match for a modern US destroyer. 'With the insistence of the flight team and the defense support of the Iranian army, the American destroyer finally agreed and moved away from the waters.' The Iranian media made it seem like the Americans had given up in this encounter. Al-Ain media in the United Arab Emirates described the incident as a possible new crisis:'A new chapter in the crisis between Iran and the United States, following the US strikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities last month,' the report said. It noted that the US Pentagon had responded that the naval ship had been 'safe and professional' and that the vessel's mission progress was not impeded. The Arabic-language Al-Ain report also noted that the Iranians depicted the interaction as though the US ship was made to 'surrender' and 'turn back.' Clearly, that is Iran's narrative. 'Clashes have previously occurred between the two countries' forces in the waters off southern Iran, particularly in the Gulf of Oman,' the report added. 'In 2023, Tehran announced that it had forced a US submarine to surface while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a claim Washington denied,' it said. Iran also downed a $200 million Global Hawk drone in 2019. This came at a time when Iran had mined four ships off the coast of the UAE in the Gulf of Oman and also attacked two other ships underway in the same area.

Al-Qassam bombards enemy command, control site in Morag axis
Gaza – Saba: Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades announced on Thursday that it had bombarded an Israeli enemy command and control site in the Morag axis in the southern Gaza Strip.

This crime includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
