The Yemeni Ministry of Oil and Minerals condemned the Israeli raids on the city of Hodeidah and the targeting of oil tanks in the port.
In an official statement, the ministry considered “Israel’s targeting of oil tanks in the port of Hodeidah a clear violation of international humanitarian law and its rules, which stipulate the preservation of civilian lives and the maintenance of civilian property.”
The statement pointed out that “the Israeli aggression on Yemen and its targeting of civilian objects, including oil tanks, confirms the enemy’s insistence on its arrogance in an attempt to double the suffering of the Yemeni people, and dissuade them from their firm and principled positions in supporting the Palestinian people, backing their cause, and backing their valiant resistance.”
The statement held “the international community, headed by the United Nations, the Security Council and international organizations, fully responsible for the Israeli aggression once morest the Yemeni people and its blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Yemen.”
The Hebrew newspaper “Walla” reported, quoting an American official, that Israel launched raids on the Yemeni city of Hodeidah.
Yemeni media reported on Saturday evening that a series of large explosions were heard in the coastal city of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, west of Yemen.
Al-Yemen TV channel reported that the raids on the city of Hodeidah targeted oil storage facilities in the city’s port, which resulted in a huge fire breaking out there.
Member of the Houthi Political Bureau, Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, warned that “Israel will pay the price for targeting a civilian facility” with its aggression once morest Yemen today, stressing that “escalation will be met with escalation.”
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam stressed that the Israeli aggression on Yemen today, Saturday, “will increase our determination, steadfastness, and continuity in supporting Gaza in an escalating manner.”
The Israeli bombing came following threats of revenge in response to a drone attack on Tel Aviv claimed by the Houthis, which killed one person and injured others.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant vowed on Friday to make the Houthis “pay the price” for the attack, which was condemned by the United States.
