AhlulBayt News Agency: The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has condemned, in the strongest terms, the American-British aggression against Yemen, emphasizing that it represents a gross violation of international law.
In a statement on Sunday, Hamas said, “We condemn the criminal attack on the sovereignty and stability of our brotherly Yemen, which targeted a residential neighborhood in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.”
Hamas expressed its full solidarity with Yemen and its people, praising their efforts to support the resilience of the Palestinian people in Gaza in the face of the “genocidal war that brings shame to humanity.”
Dozens of Yemenis were killed and injured in airstrikes launched by the American military on Yemen on Saturday evening and early Sunday. Yemeni media reported that the strikes resulted in the death of 31 people and injured 101 others, mostly in Sana’a and Saada.
The group vowed to respond to the American bombardment, while American officials stated that the attacks could continue for weeks with the aim of stopping the threat to maritime navigation in the region.
The American strikes came after the Houthis announced that they would resume targeting Israeli ships in maritime corridors in the region in response to the blockade of aid into besieged Gaza, and after the US administration reclassified them as a “terrorist group.”
These airstrikes are the first carried out by the new American administration since President Donald Trump took office for his second term in January. Trump had ordered, on Saturday, the execution of a “decisive and powerful” military strike against the Houthis in Yemen, stating on Truth Social: “Today, I ordered the U.S. military to launch a decisive and powerful military operation against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen,” adding that the Houthis “have waged a continuous campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American ships, planes, drones, and others.”
