Hajj sector condemns Zionist assault on Sana'a Airport
Sana'a - Saba: The Hajj and Umrah Sector condemned the Zionist enemy's targeting of Sana'a International Airport and the bombing of the last civilian Yemenia Airlines plane, moments before pilgrims were due to board. The attack was carried out with the aim of preventing pilgrims from performing the Hajj pilgrimage. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Hajj and Umrah Sector stated that the Zionist enemy's targeting and terrorizing of pilgrims, depriving them of performing a religious ritual, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and a blatant breach of all international agreements, treaties, and protocols related to human rights. The statement indicated that this targeting reveals the criminal ideology of the entity's leaders and their passion for killing innocents, destroying infrastructure, and violating the basic rights of citizens. It proves to the entire world that they are leaders of crime and politicians of terrorism. The sector held the Zionist enemy fully responsible for the lives and safety of the Yemeni pilgrims, calling on all international legal and human rights institutions to condemn this criminal Zionist aggression, witnessed worldwide, targeting a civilian aircraft preparing to transport pilgrims, all but wearing their ihram garments, preparing to travel to the Holy Land to perform the Hajj rituals. The sector affirmed that the barbarity and brutality of the Zionist aggression and the destruction of ports, factories, and civilian airports will not deter the Yemeni people from supporting the people of Gaza as a firm principle and a firm belief.

Israeli airstrikes target Yemen airport as Netanyahu warns Houthis, Iran
LONDON -- Israel launched airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport in the Yemeni capital on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, warning of the possibility of further attacks on the Iran-backed Houthi movement that controls the area. "We work according to a simple rule: Whoever harms us, we harm them," Netanyahu said in a statement posted to X by his office. "Whoever does not understand this with force, will now understand it with greater force." "But, as I have said more than once: The Houthis are only the symptom. The main driving force behind them is Iran, which is responsible for the aggression emanating from Yemen," Netanyahu continued. The Houthis have been attacking regional shipping and launching drones and missiles toward Israel since Hamas' deadly surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The Houthis say their attacks are a protest of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. In response, the Israel Defense Forces have attacked a range of targets in Houthi-controlled Yemen. The IDF has previously bombed the airport in Sana'a in December 2024 and earlier this month. The IDF said in a Wednesday statement that the latest attack targeted "the central airport in Sana'a and an aircraft belonging to the Houthi terrorist organization." "The aircraft that were attacked were used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transport terrorists who promoted terrorist acts against the state of Israel," the IDF said. "The IDF is determined to continue to act and strike with force anyone who poses a threat to the residents of the state of Israel, at whatever distance is required," the IDF said. Yemenia Airlines condemned the strike. "Another Yemenia Airlines plane was directly and cowardly targeted this morning, just moments before the scheduled boarding of pilgrims," the airline said in a statement Wednesday. "The plane had received all necessary permits for landing, operation, and takeoff from all relevant authorities." "Accordingly, we announce to the Yemeni and international public opinion the complete (temporary) suspension of Yemenia Airlines flights from Sana'a International Airport until further notice," the statement continued. "This is a result of this cowardly terrorist act that targeted a Yemeni civilian aircraft, belonging to a national company that has distanced itself from all conflicts and is fully dedicated to serving all our noble people without discrimination." Last month, the Houthis agreed to end attacks on American commercial shipping in the region in exchange for an end to the intense U.S. airstrikes against them, a campaign President Donald Trump began in March. The Houthis have said that the agreement does not include stopping its attacks on Israel, and have since launched multiple drones and ballistic missiles toward the country.

Hezbollah Condemns Israeli Aggression on Sanaa Airport, Voices Pride in Brave Stance of Yemeni Leadership
Hezbollah issued on Wednesday a statement to denounce the Israeli aggression on Sanaa airport, highlighting the American full support for the Zionist criminal act and the silence of the international community about it. 'The Zionist enemy continues its rampage and savage aggression against the peoples of our region—from Gaza to Lebanon and Yemen. Most recently, it has committed horrific massacres against the people of Gaza, pursued a policy of starvation and genocide, carried out daily violations of Lebanese sovereignty, and today launched an attack on Sanaa civilian airport, targeting the only remaining civilian aircraft—blatantly violating all international and humanitarian laws and conventions.' According to the statement, Hezbollah strongly condemned these barbaric Zionist assaults and affirms that this Israeli escalation would not have occurred without full American backing and the shameful silence of the international community. 'This new aggression on Yemen reaffirms that this enemy has learned nothing from the experience of its patron, America, which failed to subjugate Yemen, its people, and its leadership—and was forced to halt its aggression. The enemy remains mired in delusions, imagining that it can achieve its vain goals of deterring the Yemeni people or pushing them to back down from their steadfast position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, who face daily massacres. Meanwhile, the cries and anguish of their children, killed by fire and starvation, fall on deaf ears, and the world turns a blind eye to the scenes of torn and scattered limbs.' Hezbollah expressed its deep pride in the brave, wise, and courageous stance of the Yemeni leadership and affirms its full solidarity with the proud Yemeni people, adding that this aggression would only increase their resolve, might, courage, and determination to continue their path until the genocidal war is stopped and the siege on the people of Gaza is lifted. Hezbollah, finally, called for the strongest possible condemnation from all free nations and peoples of the world and urges effective and impactful action to lift the unjust blockade imposed on dear Gaza and noble Yemen. It also renewed its call on Arab and Islamic nations and peoples to stand alongside the dear Yemeni people and support their courageous and noble stance in support of Palestine and its steadfast people. Israeli enemy warplanes conducted a significant attack on Yemen's capital airport Wednesday, with Yemeni sources reporting four separate airstrikes targeting the runway at Sana'a International Airport and destroying a Yemenia Airlines aircraft.
