The United States and the UK carried out a joint aggression targeting the Taif region in the al-Durayhimi district, south of the coastal province of Hodeidah, west of Yemen, as Sanaa continues to declare its firm position to proactively support Gaza against an Israeli genocide.

Tehran -ISNA- The new aggression comes hours after the Israeli withdrawal from the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza unveiled the atrocities committed against civilians and the medical facility.

After 14 days of seige and occupation of the medical facility, Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the hospital late Sunday, leaving behind hundreds of bodies both inside the hospital and in its vicinity, in addition to mass destruction, leaving the hospital completely out of service.

The Government Media Office in Gaza pointed out that "Israel" killed more than 400 Palestinian civilians in the hospital and its vicinity and detained around 300 people while almost 100 remain missing. The office also reported that the occupation left behind "a trail of mass destruction" with crimes against humanity and international law unraveling.

No word of condemnation was issued by either the US or the UK, yet they did jointly attack Yemen as part of aggression on Yemeni areas governed by Sanaa ongoing since January in an attempt to stop Yemeni operations in support of Gaza. However, the two countries were not able to stop the operations conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces, nor undermine their effects.

Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said last month that the capabilities of the Yemeni Armed Forces have notably grown, and this was evident in the unprecedented usage of ballistic missiles to strike naval vessels.
