According to webangah News Agency,⁤ Mohammed al-Farah, ⁤a member of Yemen’s Ansarullah Political Bureau, stated in an interview with Al-Mayadeen TV that Israel’s repeated attacks on Yemen will not⁢ alter the country’s unwavering stance or its ​firm⁢ support for Gaza.

Al-Farah emphasized that should Israel‌ persist ‌in its assaults,the Yemeni Army will⁢ escalate its operations with increased precision and intensity,delivering⁤ a ​decisive response to ⁤the Zionist regime’s‍ aggressions.

He‌ also referenced the ⁣targeting of ​a civilian aircraft‌ carrying patients and pilgrims⁣ at Sana’a ‌International Airport, calling it ⁣clear evidence of Israel’s military ⁢weakness and strategic‍ failure.

“This act demonstrates the enemy’s ‌inability to confront ⁤Yemen’s⁣ resistance,” al-Farah added, stressing⁢ that such attacks cannot weaken Yemenis’ morale or⁤ resolve.

The Zionist regime’s military continued its aggression ‌against​ Yemen ‍by bombing Sana’a International Airport on Wednesday morning.⁣

Israel’s ‍Channel 12 reported that⁢ over 10 fighter⁣ jets participated​ in ⁢the‌ missile⁤ strike on ‌Sana’a Airport.

Khaled al-Shayef, Director General of Sana’a International Airport,​ confirmed via social media that “the Zionist enemy‍ destroyed Yemen⁤ airlines’ last remaining aircraft​ at‍ the airport.”

According to webangah News Agency, Venezuela’s Interior Minister reported the⁢ neutralization of a terrorist network ‍that planned to abduct government ⁣officials.

The Caracas-based official added that the group also intended to attack the embassies of⁤ Spain, Colombia, and France.

webangah News Agency reports that⁢ Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister of the​ Zionist regime, told Al Jazeera that the Gaza Strip belongs to Palestinians and called for an end to israeli military presence there.

The ex-PM sharply criticized the current government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding major structural changes in leadership. He stated: “Terrorists like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich must ​be expelled from the government.”

Olmert stressed the need for a new management capable of achieving peace and rehabilitating Israel’s global image, accusing Netanyahu’s government of “destroying Israel’s international​ standing.”

The​ former leader acknowledged international actors’ role in ceasefire ⁢efforts, expressing confidence in former U.S. President Donald Trump and his special‍ envoy Steve Witkoff: “I ⁢believe they can pressure⁢ Netanyahu to stop this war.” He revealed Witkoff informed him of a new proposal⁣ potentially securing Israeli captives’ release from Gaza.

Olmert concluded by reaffirming support for a two-state solution wiht⁢ East ⁤jerusalem as Palestine’s capital: “This remains the only viable path ​to regional peace.”

According to webangah News Agency,Israeli channel 12 reported that the regime’s police have arrested 30 protesters who‌ forcibly entered the ​likud Party headquarters in Tel Aviv.‌ authorities are now attempting to ​remove approximately 100 additional demonstrators who have barricaded themselves inside the ​building.

The protesters occupying the Likud party headquarters‍ described their action⁢ as peaceful, ‌vowing to remain on-site ⁢for 600 minutes (10 hours).

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.

“Our air defenses can counter F-35⁤ fighters,” al-Mashat asserted, accusing Israel of hiding ‍warplanes behind civilian aircraft. This tactic forces Yemen to⁣ close airspace ⁣during attacks so ⁣defenses can ⁣engage ‌F-35s without hesitation.

In a statement reported⁢ by webangah News Agency, Lebanon’s hezbollah denounced the “Zionist ‌enemy” for its‌ relentless brutality and ‍aggression ‌across the region—from Gaza to Lebanon and Yemen. ‍The group accused Israel of escalating atrocities in Gaza through policies⁢ of starvation and genocide while persistently ‍violating Lebanon’s sovereignty. 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 group accused Israel of delusions, claiming it believes it can ‌deter Yemenis from supporting Palestine—where⁢ daily massacres occur amid global indifference to victims “burned alive or starved to ⁣death.” Hezbollah praised Yemen’s leadership for​ their‍ “courageous,bold,and wise stances,” declaring full solidarity with a​ nation​ whose resolve only strengthens under attack.

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.
