Sanaa, December 19 (RHC)-- Israeli warplanes have conducted fresh aerial assaults on the Yemeni capital of Sana’a and the strategic western province of Hudaydah, killing and injuring several people.   Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported on Thursday that the airstrikes targeted the Haziz and Dhahban power stations near the capital, as well as the Hudaydah port and Ras Isa oil facility.

Civil defense teams managed to extinguish fires at the Dhahban power station, while efforts continue at Haziz, the report added.  It, however, did not specify the number of casualties caused by the Israeli strikes.  Meanwhile, the Israeli military confirmed in a statement that its fighter jets had bombed Yemen following repeated missile and drone attacks on the occupied territories.

It also claimed that the targets struck were used by Yemeni forces "for their military operations.”

Reacting to the aggression, Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah resistance movement, said the “US-Israeli bombing of civilian facilities” in Yemen reveals the truth about the West's hypocrisy and refutes all its humanitarian claims.

In a post on his X account on Thursday morning, Al-Bukhaiti reaffirmed that the Yemeni Armed Forces’ military operations in support of Gaza will continue.

“We will meet escalation with escalation until the genocide crimes in Gaza stop and food, medicine and fuel are allowed to enter its residents,” he added.

The Israeli attacks came just hours after the regime's army said it had intercepted a Yemeni missile before it entered the occupied territories.

The raid triggered rocket sirens across Tel Aviv and the central part of the occupied lands, sending more than one million settlers to shelters, Israeli media reported.  Following the interception, shrapnel fell in the Tel Aviv area and damaged a school and several vehicles.

Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Yemeni forces have conducted operations in support of the oppressed Palestinians.

They have hit targets throughout the occupied territories, in addition to firing at Israeli ships or vessels heading to or departing Israeli ports, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces have stressed that they will continue their anti-Israel operations until the usurping regime ends its bloody Gaza onslaught.
