Top officials inspect devastation at Ras Isa Port after US aggression
Hodeida - Saba:
First Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed Miftah, along with the Ministers of Transport and Oil, and the Governor of Hodeida, on Saturday conducted an on-site inspection of the extensive damage caused by the recent US aggression on Ras Isa Port in Hodeida province.
The high-level delegation, accompanied by the Chairman of the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) and other local officials, assessed the destruction inflicted upon the port and its infrastructure. They also visited those wounded in the US aggression, receiving treatment in local hospitals, and were briefed on their condition.
During the visit, the First Deputy Prime Minister vehemently condemned the US aggression as completely unjustified, reiterating that the entire US aggression against Yemen is without merit. He asserted that while the US claims its presence is to protect navigation, it is in fact the US aggression that threatens regional peace and security. He linked the prevention of "Zionist maritime navigation" to the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the siege on Gaza.
Miftah called on the international community to condemn the US aggression, which targeted port workers and civilian infrastructure. He accused the US of deliberately annihilating those present at the port through multiple air raids. He further stated that Yemen would not allow a US-imposed blockade and that the "enemy" would face the consequences of this "crime."
Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Quhaim described the US aggression at Ras Isa Port as a clear indication of the aggression's failure in Yemen. He stated that the destruction of civilian facilities is a futile attempt to deter the Yemeni people from their principled stance in support of Gaza.
The Minister of Oil and Minerals emphasized that Ras Isa Port is a civilian facility vital to the Yemeni people and that its deliberate destruction by the US aims to harm the civilian population. He affirmed that this "major crime" would not be tolerated and would not dissuade Yemen from supporting Gaza.
Hodeida governor Abdullah Atifi echoed this sentiment, labeling the US actions at Ras Isa as a systematic war against civilians and reaffirming Yemen's unwavering support for Gaza until the "Zionist aggression" against Palestinians ends.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Saba News Agency Nasr al-Din Amer described the incident as a "heinous massacre" targeting civilians and port workers at a civilian service facility. He emphasized that Ras Isa Port serves the public and has no military function, contrary to alleged enemy claims.
Hodeida first undersecretary Ahmed al-Bishri declared the port attack a "full-fledged war crime" reflecting the "American enemy's" failure in the face of Yemeni steadfastness. He noted that the Yemeni people have authorized their leadership to make strategic decisions in response to the aggression.

Palestinian Movement: Zionist enemy defies international law by targeting ambulance crews
Gaza - Saba: The Palestinian Freedom Movement has said that the Nazism of the Zionist enemy has crossed all red lines, and that premeditated murder has become the culture of a barbaric army protected by suspicious international silence and American complicity. In a press statement on Tuesday, it added, "In a blatant defiance of international law, the Zionist enemy is targeting ambulance crews, resulting in the martyrdom of a number of paramedics while performing their humanitarian duty to save the lives of innocent children, women, and the elderly." The statement described the Zionist enemy's massacres, threats to the lives of humanitarian and civilian personnel, and violations of rights and freedoms in the Gaza Strip as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression. In doing so, the Zionist enemy is committing all internationally prohibited crimes, disregarding its violations of international texts and norms and the resulting international sanctions. The statement called on the international community and the Security Council to take immediate action to curb the enemy, hold it accountable, and protect all medical and journalistic personnel, civil defense personnel, hospitals, shelters, and everything protected under international and humanitarian law from the sadism and Nazism of the enemy and its fascist leaders. Otherwise, they will be complicit with the enemy in all the crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

In a statement, Hamas stated that targeting those providing aid to victims represents an "unprecedented level of brutality and criminality" and reveals the enemy's attempts to "stifle all means of survival and rescue in Gaza."

PFLP condemns new Zionist aggression against Yemen
Gaza - Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) condemned on Tuesday the new Zionist aggression, which targeted civilian facilities in the Yemeni port of Hodeida. The PFLP affirmed in a press statement that this renewed escalation, carried out by the Navy, reflects Zionist bankruptcy and inability to confront the qualitative strikes that Yemen continues to launch in support of Palestine and to affirm its advanced position on the Gaza front. It added: "This treacherous aggression came amid a clear inability to halt the escalating momentum of Yemeni deterrence, which is now imposing new equations in the face of aggression and siege, and exposes the extent of American and Western complicity in targeting free peoples and resistance forces." The PFLP renewed its full solidarity with the Yemeni people and their armed forces, stressing that this aggression is a desperate attempt to break a solid will that has not and will not be broken despite years of siege and aggression.
