Why it matters:
The strikes escalate tensions in the region, with the U.S. and its allies targeting Yemen’s Ansarullah movement amid ongoing Yemeni support for the Palestinians in Gaza. Hezbollah’s condemnation highlights the broader regional alignment of resistance groups against Western intervention.
The big picture:
The U.S. and Britain launched a new round of strikes against Yemeni targets, claiming to protect international shipping in the Red Sea. However, Yemen’s Ansarullah forces have always said that their actions are part of broader support for Palestine, particularly in response to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
What they'r saying:
Hezbollah announced that bombing residential areas in Sana’a and other provinces exposes the U.S.'s "true and violent nature."
Hezbollah added targeting vital civilian infrastructure is a blatant act of aggression and Yemen will not retreat under pressure.
Key points:
- The U.S.-U.K. attack killed at least 31 people and injured over 100 others.
- Yemen has pledged continued resistance and remains committed to supporting lifting the Gaza blockade.
- Hezbollah reaffirmed solidarity with Yemen and urged global condemnation of Western military intervention.
