    Yemen’s Supreme⁤ Political Council leader,during an inspection of ​damage at Sana’a ⁣International Airport—targeted ⁣by⁤ Israeli warplanes earlier today—warned Zionists: “A hot summer awaits you.”

    Mahdi al-Mashat, head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, declared during his visit to the bomb-damaged Sana’a International ​Airport​ that “we⁤ will neither retreat nor surrender,” emphasizing that the israeli airstrike would not break their resolve. The attack, ​he stated via webangah News Agency, “proves the pain Zionists feel from our⁤ missile and drone strikes.”

    Al-mashat reaffirmed ⁢Yemen’s unwavering support for⁣ Gaza⁤ until Israel’s war ends and its blockade‍ is lifted: “No matter how severe Israel’s ​aggression becomes, it will only intensify ‍our operations ‍backing Gaza.” He ⁣vowed the airport would resume operations “with God’s help.”

    Addressing “criminal Netanyahu,” al-Mashat⁤ warned: “Zionists‌ will not​ be⁤ safe⁤ from our missiles. Yemen’s rockets are determined to reach their targets.” He added: “Your shelters are no longer safe. Netanyahu’s ‌vile cabinet cannot protect you—painful surprises await. ‌A hot summer‌ is coming⁤ for you.”

    The leader also cautioned foreign airlines still flying to⁣ ben​ Gurion Airport (referred to as lod Airport): “Every moment they operate there puts them at risk.”‌ He urged travelers worldwide​ to boycott such​ carriers, calling the airport unsafe.

The latest attack targeted ⁢Sana’a’s civilian airport and its ⁤sole remaining commercial aircraft, flagrantly‍ violating international laws and humanitarian⁤ norms.

    Hezbollah strongly condemned ⁤these “savage Israeli attacks,” asserting that such excesses would be unachievable without unwavering⁤ U.S. backing and ‌the “shameful silence” of the global community. ​the statement emphasized that Israel’s new assault on ‍Yemen‌ proves it has failed to​ learn from its “American masters,” who were forced to halt their own aggression after failing to subjugate yemen’s people and⁤ leadership.

    The statement called on‌ free nations worldwide to condemn Israel unequivocally, demand an end to Gaza’s ‌blockade, and stand with Yemen ⁢in its principled⁣ defense⁢ of Palestine. It urged Arab⁤ and Islamic states specifically to rally behind Yemen’s⁤ unwavering support for Palestinian resistance.
