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.

UN experts: 'Israel' is committing genocide, planning to wipe out life in Gaza
NEW YORK, June 11 (YPA) – UN experts said that Israeli occupation committed a crime against humanity amounting to 'genocide' by killing civilians who had sought refuge in schools and religious sites in the Gaza Strip as part of a 'systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life'. In its report released on Tuesday, the committee noted that the occupying authorities have destroyed more than 90% of school and university buildings and more than half of the religious and cultural sites in Gaza. It concluded that the occupation committed war crimes, 'including directing attacks against civilians and educational facilities. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and 'Israel' was scheduled to present its report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on June 17. 'We are witnessing mounting evidence that Israel is waging a systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life in Gaza.' Navi Pillay, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who chairs the commission, said in a statement, 'Israel's targeting of the educational, cultural, and religious life of the Palestinian people will harm current and future generations and undermine their right to self-determination.' The occupying authorities withdrew from the Human Rights Council in February, claiming it was biased. When the commission's latest report in March concluded that 'Israel' had committed 'acts of genocide' against Palestinians through the systematic destruction of women's healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the findings as biased and anti-Semitic. In response to the 'Al-Aqsa Intifada' Hamas launched on October 7, 2023, the occupying authorities launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip that, according to health authorities in the Strip, resulted in the deaths of more than 54,000 Palestinians. The report concluded that the damage to the Palestinian education system was not limited to Gaza, pointing to increased Israeli military operations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with harassment of students and attacks by settlers there. 'The Israeli authorities also targeted Israeli and Palestinian education workers and students inside Israel who expressed concern for or solidarity with civilians in Gaza, resulting in harassment, dismissal, or suspension, and in some cases, arrest and detention in a humiliating manner,' the report stated, adding that the Israeli authorities particularly target female teachers and students with the aim of deterring women and girls from activism in public spaces.'
