Israeli warplanes struck the Yemeni capital Sana and the Al Jawf Governorate with 30 bombs killing nine people and injuring 118 according to the Yemeni Health Ministry, Wednesday.
It was described as a massive attack in which 10 Israeli warplanes struck 15 Yemeni targets.
The aggression on Sana’a targeted a medical station on 60th Street, southwest of Sana’a, the Moral Guidance Dept., of the Defence Ministry and the headquarters of the “26 September” and “Al-Yaman” newspapers.
A senior official source said the attack on the “26 September” newspaper resulted in the death and injury of a number of male and female journalists.
In Al-Jawf, northeast of the country, the Israeli aggression targeted a government complex in Al-Hazm District.
Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated, “Our air defenses were able to launch a number of surface-to-air missiles while confronting the Zionist aggression against our country.”
Sare’i added in a social media post some combat formations were forced to leave before carrying out their aggression, thwarting the bulk of the attack as reported in almayadeen.
Sare’i denied the Israeli occupation’s allegations of targeting missile launchers, asserting its raids targeted purely civilian targets.
He emphasized this brutal aggression will not pass without a military response.
An Israeli Air Force source told Israeli media that “the attack on Yemen involved more than 10 fighter jets, and more than 30 munitions were used against 15 sites.”
A senior Yemeni military source confirmed to Al-Mayadeen the aggression struck purely civilian targets, noting that the government complex in Al-Jawf is a building serving citizens and has no military connection.
The source emphasized that targeting civilian facilities will not “stop Yemen from fulfilling its role,” noting that the occupation’s targeting of the government complex is evidence of its incompetence and failure.
The aggression on Yemen “will not stop us from supporting Gaza and disciplining the Israeli entity,” he continued.
The Yemeni armed forces have continue their operations against Israel, directing strikes at various targets, including Ben Gurion Airport and imposing a ban on Israeli ports.
