35 dead, over 130 wounded in new Israeli strikes on Yemen's Sana'a, Jawf

At least 35 people have been killed and more than 130 others wounded when Israeli warplanes launched a wave of airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sana'a, and the northern province of al-Jawf, local authorities said.

Yemen's Health Ministry provided the new death toll hours after the attack on Wednesday. It had said earlier that nine people had been killed, but said the figures were preliminary and could rise as rescue teams continued to search for victims.

The ministry said the raids struck civilian and residential areas, including homes in al-Tahrir neighborhood of Sana'a, a medical facility on 60th Street in the southwest of the city, and a government compound in Jawf's provincial capital city of al-Hazm on Wednesday.

Civil defense teams are working to extinguish fires caused by the bombardment and pull survivors from the rubble, it added.

An unnamed senior Yemeni source revealed to al-Mayadeen television news channel that Israeli strikes also targeted the headquarters of the 26 September and al-Yemen newspapers, leaving several journalists dead and injured.

Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced in a social media post that the Arab nation's air defense units were engaging Israeli aircraft, forcing them out of the Yemeni airspace and preventing them from extending their aggression to other regions.

Saree highlighted that a number of homegrown surface-to-air missiles were launched in the process.

In this context, a high-level military source stated that the targeted sites were purely civilian.

He noted that the government compound in al-Jawf was a completely civilian facility, which used to serve the public with no military function whatsoever.

The source emphasized that Israeli attacks on civilian installations clearly attest to the Tel Aviv regime's incompetence and failure and would not deter the Yemeni people from supporting Palestinians in Gaza and carrying out retaliatory strikes against Israeli-affiliated assets.

The attacks came days after an Israeli aerial assault killed Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi and several other ministers in Sana'a on August 28.

In light of the worsening genocidal war in Gaza that started in October 2023, Yemeni forces executed a strategic maritime blockade intended to obstruct the delivery of military resources to Israel while urging the global community to address the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Concurrently, they conducted multiple missile and drone attacks on key targets located in the Israeli-occupied regions, demonstrating their support for the Palestinians in Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have stated unequivocally that they will continue their operations until Israel puts an end to its ground and aerial assaults in Gaza.

Israel has killed at least 64,656 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the besieged Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the health ministry of Gaza.
