US pro-Israel strikes killed 123 Yemenis in less than a month: Ministry
Yemen’s Health Ministry says 370 civilians, mostly women and children, have been killed and wounded in strikes launched by the United States on the impoverished country in support of Israel.
On Monday, the ministry said the US strikes on civilian facilities in Yemen have killed 123 people and injured 247 others since March 16.
The ministry condemned the “blatant US aggression against the homeland and its targeting of civilian objects and civilians through direct bombardment”, including the attacks on a factory in the capital Sana’a on Sunday night.
Noting that six people were killed and 30 others wounded, including five children, in the attack, the ministry described it as “a full-fledged war crime” and “a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions”.
It urged Arab and Islamic nations as well as human rights organizations to take to the streets to decry the US crimes against the Yemeni people.
Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
In support of Israel, the US announced the formation of maritime task force in the Red Sea in December 2023 to protect the passage of vessels bound for the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Yemeni forces responded by ramping up their strikes against strategic and sensitive Israeli and American targets, including the US warships and aircraft carriers that are deployed off Yemen’s coastline.
The Yemeni forces paused their retaliatory strikes in support of the ceasefire that took effect in Gaza on January 19, before Israel broke it in March.
