Arabian Sea - Yemen - Special: The Ministry of Health in the Sana'a government, controlled by the Houthi group, announced on Sunday evening that the death toll from the Israeli bombing that targeted the capital had risen to 71 dead and wounded. The ministry said in a statement carried by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that the attacks resulted in the death of four civilians and the injury of 67 others, as a result of targeting the Haziz power stations and the oil company on 60th Street. It pointed out that the civil defense and rescue teams are still continuing the search for missing persons and the recovery of victims. In reactions, the Iranian Foreign Ministry "strongly" condemned the Israeli raids that targeted civilian sites and infrastructure in Sana'a, considering them a flagrant violation of international laws. For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "the Houthi regime is learning the hard way and will pay a heavy price for its attacks on Israel," stressing that Tel Aviv will continue to target the infrastructure that "is used to support Houthi terrorism." Meanwhile, the Israeli Minister of Defense affirmed that his country "is imposing an air and sea blockade and responding with double strikes for every missile attack targeting Israel." In return, the "Hamas" movement considered the Israeli raids on Yemen to be a "blatant violation of the sovereignty of Arab countries," praising the position of the Houthis and their support for the Palestinian people. As for the political bureau of the Houthi group, it affirmed that the Israeli strikes "will not affect the cohesion of the internal front," stressing that Yemen "will continue to respond by all available means until the aggression is stopped and the siege on Gaza is lifted."
