Marib - Saba: Marib Governorate witnessed 16 massive popular marches in support of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and in solidarity with Gaza and Al-Aqsa, under the slogan: 'No security for the entity… Gaza and Al-Aqsa under attack.' Participants from various districts—including Al-Jubah, Majzar, Sirwah, Harib Al-Qaramish, Badbada, Qaniyah, Jabal Murad, and Rahbah—affirmed their full readiness for mobilization and general enlistment to confront the Zionist enemy and support Yemeni military operations against it. They condemned the genocide in Gaza and the desecration of Al-Aqsa, fully supported the leadership, and reaffirmed their commitment to the path of supporting the oppressed. They also called on Arab and Islamic nations to act immediately in support of Palestine and its holy sites, stressing that the targeting of civilians by the enemy would not deter Yemenis from their firm stance.

Human" Organization condemns continued zionist aggression targeting Sana'a airport
Sana'a - Saba: "Human" Organization for Rights and Freedoms strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression targeting Sana'a International Airport, including the bombing of the last remaining aircraft belonging to Yemen Airways, which has inflicted a new tragedy upon the Yemeni people at home and abroad. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the organization emphasized that this crime is part of a series of unjustifiable violations lacking any military justification. The statement noted that less than a month ago, the Zionist enemy had targeted three civilian aircraft at Sana'a International Airport in its airstrikes, resulting in the complete destruction of the airport's infrastructure. The organization deemed the continued Zionist aggression against civilian facilities a grave violation of international humanitarian law. Despite the scale of destruction, the authorities in Sana'a—recognizing the suffering of citizens at home and abroad—quickly initiated the airport's reconstruction within a matter of days. This effort rekindled hope among Yemenis for the return of stranded nationals, enabling patients to travel for treatment, as well as pilgrims, students, and others to meet their essential travel needs. However, the statement added, "This joy was short-lived, as Israeli warplanes returned once again, exacerbating the suffering of tens of thousands of stranded Yemenis abroad and deepening the isolation of those at home." The "Human" Organization called on the international community, including human rights organizations and governments that champion democracy and human rights, to condemn Israel's crimes in Yemen—a country being punished today for its stance in support of Gaza. The organization stressed that the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court must act to prevent genocide rather than remain silent or complicit. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Yemen: UN Warns Against Houthi-Israel Escalation, Calls For Dialogue
On Wednesday, Israel launched airstrikes on Yemen's main airport in the capital, Sana'a, destroying the last operational Yemenia Airways plane, according to media reports. The attack came a day after the Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, fired missiles at Israel. Fragile situation worsening In Yemen, the rebels have been fighting with Government troops, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, for over a decade. But since the start of the war in Gaza they have been targeting Israel as well as commercial ships in the Red Sea, as an act of solidarity with Palestinians. 'The ongoing military confrontation between the Houthis and Israel is exacerbating an already very fragile situation in Yemen and the broader region,' said UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric. 'Attacks on civilian infrastructure, including Sana'a airport in Yemen and Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, are unacceptable.' He said the strike on Sana'a airport and the destruction of the civilian aircraft 'deprives many Yemenis of a critical means to leave the country for medical, educational, family or religious regions, especially at a time when thousands of pilgrims are preparing for the Hajj.' De-escalation and dialogue The Spokesman called on all stakeholders, including the Houthis, to de-escalate and exercise restraint, uphold their obligations under international law, and protect civilian infrastructure. He also urged the warring parties to return to the intra-Yemeni dialogue, with the support of the region, as the only viable path toward lasting peace and security. In related developments, the UN Special Envoy for Yemen concluded a visit to Oman's capital Muscat on Wednesday, his office said in a statement. Hans Grundberg met senior Omani officials, members of Ansar Allah leadership and representatives of the diplomatic community, including senior Iranian officials. 'Discussions focused on the cessation of hostilities between the United States and Ansar Allah and the need to translate this into sustainable progress that benefits all Yemenis and includes guarantees for the region and international community,' the statement said. The ceasefire agreement was brokered by Oman and came into effect on 6 May following the resumption of deadly US airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. Free detained personnel Mr. Grundberg further addressed regional dynamics and the shared responsibility of all to support de-escalation and a UN-led political process for a durable and comprehensive resolution to the conflict in Yemen. As the Houthis continue to arbitrarily detain scores of personnel from the UN, non-governmental organizations, civil society and diplomatic missions, the Special Envoy called for their immediate and unconditional release in all his engagements. 'He stressed that their prolonged detention is not only unjustifiable but undermines the UN's and international community's ability to provide humanitarian support to millions of Yemenis,' the statement said.

Zionist Newspaper: Why could neither "Israel" nor US defeat Yemenis in Yemen?
Occupied Quds - Saba: An Israeli newspaper questioned on Tuesday, in an article titled "Why Can Neither Israel Nor the US Defeat the Yemenis in Yemen?" Writer Yishai Halber, in an article published on Haaretz's website, answered: "Geography, expertise, and mentality: The Yemenis have become a force that is hard to stop, despite the repeated airstrikes carried out by both the US and Israel. Even an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is unlikely to lead to their disarmament." He added: "Shortly after October 7, when the Yemenis began firing missiles at Israel in support of Gaza, many mocked them. But after more than a year and a half, no one considers them just a side show anymore." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
