Resistance groups condemn US deadly aggression against Yemen

The groups made the remarks in separate statements on Saturday shortly after American and British warplanes launched extensive airstrikes against the country, killing 18 civilians.

The Gaza Strip-based Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said it denounced the aggression as a “blatant violation of international law” and an attack on Yemen's sovereignty and stability.

It expressed full solidarity with the Yemeni people and lauded Yemen's support for the Palestinian cause of liberation from Israeli occupation and aggression, especially throughout the regime’s 15-month-plus war of genocide against Gaza.

The Islamic Jihad, another Gaza-headquartered resistance movement, condemned the American aggression, identifying it as “a shameless endorsement of Israeli occupation's crimes against the Palestinian people and the [West Asia] region.”

It highlighted Yemen's honorable stance in supporting Gaza and the Palestinian resistance, saluting the Yemeni leadership and populace for their steadfastness against colonial assaults.

The Popular Resistance Committees, which gathers a number of resistance groups, also blasted the US-UK bloodletting as aligning with and defending the Zionist entity.

It emphasized that such atrocities were a reaction to Yemen's courageous support for the Palestinian people against Israeli genocide and blockade, commending the Yemeni people's resilience and predicted that victory would side with Yemen due to its unwavering stance.

Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iraqi resistance group, said by waging the aggression, the United States had once again proven that it was the official sponsor of crime in the region and the world.

It termed the attacks as “blatant support for the brutal Zionist entity” that was “clear evidence of the failure of the American administration to break Yemen’s courageous stance in support of steadfast Gaza.”

Such barbarity is “aimed at imposing the axis’ hegemony and destabilizing security and stability in the region,” Kata’ib Hezbollah remarked.

The Saturday aggression came after Sana’a resumed a pro-Palestinian ban on Israeli ships from crossing key waterways, when Tel Aviv refused to open Gaza’s crossings to direly-needed aid supplies.
