Ministry of Health: 50 Dead and Injured in Sana’a as the Zionist Enemy Commits a War Crime by Targeting Civilian Neighborhoods
Today, the Ministry of Health and Environment announced an initial toll of a new crime committed by the brutal Zionist enemy against the people of the capital, Sana’a, following a series of hysterical airstrikes that targeted residential neighborhoods and civilian facilities.
In a statement, the Ministry confirmed that two citizens were martyred and 48 others wounded, bringing the total number of casualties to 50 dead and injured. Civil defense and rescue teams continue operations to search under the rubble and extinguish fires caused by the bombing, amid fears that the death toll may rise as rescue operations continue.
The Ministry stressed that what the Zionist enemy carried out constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and conventions, affirming that the direct targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure exposes the true criminal nature of this entity and debunks its false claims.
Zionist Aggression Targets Densely Populated Neighborhoods
It is worth noting that the Zionist enemy launched a series of frenzied raids this afternoon on the capital, Sana’a, striking densely populated neighborhoods and civilian facilities.
A local source reported that the Zionist strikes hit the Dhahban power station, two residential neighborhoods on Al-Ruqas Street in Ma’in District, as well as the Hadda and Nahdain areas in Al-Sabeen District.
The source added that targeting residential areas and civilian facilities is merely another episode in the ongoing series of Zionist crimes against the Yemeni people—part of a joint aggression directed by Washington and Tel Aviv in a desperate attempt to break the steadfastness of this nation in its support for Gaza and the oppressed Palestinian people.
Widespread Condemnation and Affirmation of Resilience
The people of Sana’a, like all Yemenis, expressed their strong condemnation of this heinous crime, stressing that the blood of the martyrs and the wounded will not be in vain, and that the response to such crimes will resonate on the fields of dignity and honor.
Observers affirm that the targeting of residential neighborhoods and civilian sites represents a dangerous escalation, reflecting the state of bankruptcy the Zionist enemy is experiencing after failing to break the will of the Yemeni people—who, since the beginning of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, have declared their unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their just cause.
