US-UK aggression on Yemen ‘desperate attempt’ to stop support for Palestine: Hezbollah
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has strongly condemned the latest US-British aggression against Yemen as a blatant violation of international law, calling it a “desperate attempt” to prevent the resilient Yemeni people from supporting Palestine.
Hezbollah made the remarks in a statement on Sunday, shortly after the US and Britain carried out airstrikes against several sites in the Yemeni capital Sana’a and elsewhere in the Arab country, leaving dozens of people, including women and children, killed and injured.
"This aggression comes as a desperate attempt to deter this proud nation from continuing its heroic support for the Palestinian people and maintaining its pressure to lift the unjust siege on Gaza to allow the entry of humanitarian and relief aid," it said.
The Lebanese resistance movement went on to say that the “targeting of civilians and vital infrastructure in Yemen once again exposes the true, ugly face of the US government."
Hezbollah further described the deadly US-British assault on Yemen as a “war crime” and a "blatant violation of International laws and norms” stressing that it aligns with the Israeli regime’s aggressions against Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, that were carried out with Washington’s support.
“The Yemeni nation, which has defended the Palestinian cause by sacrificing its martyrs and standing with the people of Gaza, will not retreat in the face of this aggression.”
“The resilient Yemeni people, who have written heroic epics with the blood of their martyrs in support of the Palestinian cause and the besieged Gaza, will not back down in the face of this cowardly aggression,” the Lebanese resistance group said.
Hezbollah further reaffirmed its full solidarity with the Yemen people, urging all freedom-loving nations of the world as well as all the resistance groups to stand united against the American-Zionist agenda.
On Saturday night, American and British warplanes launched large-scale airstrikes on several sites in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a as well as on areas in the northern province of Sa’ada, the central province of al-Bayda, and the southwestern province of Dhamar.
The Yemeni health ministry said at least 31 people were killed, and 101 others were injured in the strikes.
The large-scale aerial attacks, which began on Saturday and continued into the early hours of Sunday, came after the Yemeni Armed Forces threatened to resume their retaliatory operations against the Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea over the Tel Aviv regime’s blockade on Gaza.
