The Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s earlier deadly attacks against western Yemen, warning that such aggression risks exacerbating the already dire situation in the region.

Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks on Saturday, hours after Israeli warplanes targeted civilian buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in the Yemeni province of al-Hudaydah, causing a number of casualties.

Kan’ani said by attacking Yemen, the regime was seeking to exact a toll on the oppressed but strong Yemeni people for their honorable support for the innocent Palestinian civilians.

He considered perpetuation of the Israeli massacres and siege in Gaza to be the root cause of current regional tensions, asserting the region would not get to experience calm again as long as the regime continued its violations against the coastal sliver.

The spokesman concluded his remarks by saying that the Zionist regime and its supporters, including the United States, were directly responsible for the dangerous and unpredictable repercussions that could follow perpetuation of violations against Gaza and adventuristic attacks on Yemen.
