The Zionist occupation launched a large-scale attack on Yemen while the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, was delivering his speech.
A source said on Thursday that the aggression on Sanaa and Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK’s coordination and support.
The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation’s failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this “will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response.”
The occupation’s aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.
Significantly, the aggression on Sanaa International Airport took place during the presence of two UN personnel in the airport: the WHO’s Director and the UN’s resident coordinator.
Moreover, the sources reported that the UN airplane’s co-captain had been injured and was transported to a hospital after the Zionist aggression on the airport, adding that two other airport employees were also killed as a result of the attack.
The airstrikes hit Sanaa International Airport in the northern part of the capital, as well as two airstrikes on the Hiziz Central Power Plant south of Sanaa.
Reports also demonstrated that power outages were reported in parts of Hodeidah Province due to the attack on the Ras Kathib Central Power Plant in the northern part of the coastal city on the Red Sea in western Yemen.
Additionally, reports underscored that the occupation’s aggression on Hodeidah was executed with the US Navy’s participation through their warships.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Ministry of Health, Anis Al-Asbahi, confirmed initially, that one person was killed and 3 others were injured after strikes on Ras Issa Port, in As-Salif District, northwest of the coastal province of Al-Hodeidah, west of Yemen.
In a revised toll, the spokesperson later said that the casualties had increased to four martyrs and 42 injured in total.
Yemen likely to intensify operations against the regime: Zionist media
Meanwhile, Zionist media outlets reported that officials in expect an increase in attacks from Yemen, especially after this assault.
Channel 14 confirmed that the attack targeted three central sites: Sanaa Airport, a power plant in Sana’a, and the Hodeidah port, noting that “this is not an ordinary attack, but the opening of a battle that could be prolonged.”
In response, Ansar Allah’s spokesperson, Mohammed Abdulsalam, condemned the targeting of Sanaa International Airport and other civilian infrastructure, describing it as a Zionist crime against the entire Yemeni people.
He pointed out that if the Zionist enemy thinks its crimes will stop Yemen from supporting Gaza, it is mistaken, affirming that Yemen will not abandon its religious and humanitarian principles.
In fact, reports state that a ballistic missile targeted Tel Aviv at 3:30am, sending 2 million people rushing to shelters, and leaving 18+ injured in the chaos.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command condemns the treacherous Zionist strikes that targeted civilian and economic facilities in brotherly Yemen, in continuation of the series of crimes of aggression against the peoples of our Arab and Islamic nation and a failed attempt to stop Yemeni support and backing for the injustice of our Palestinian people and their legitimate struggle in confronting the occupation.
We, in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, appreciate the Yemeni role in supporting our people and their struggle, represented by what the Ansar Allah movement and its wise leadership are doing, and behind them the brotherly Yemeni people. We affirm our confidence in the effectiveness of the Yemeni resistance’s pioneering role in confronting the forces of arrogance and the free will of the Yemenis to continue their support and backing of our people despite the Zionist-American siege and attacks. We mourn the martyrs of the treacherous aggression who ascended on the path of defending Jerusalem and the holy sites and defending the nation with their pure blood. We affirm that the Zionist strikes only express the extent of the Zionist-American inability to undermine the determination of Ansar Allah after the American aircraft carrier fled in the face of the Yemeni armed forces’ strikes and the aggression failed to achieve its goals, and the Zionist inability to confront the Yemeni hypersonic missiles and hit their targets accurately.
It is a revolution until the liberation of the land and the people
