Sana’a forces denied on Wednesday evening the Israeli claims about targeting missile launch platforms in the capital, affirming that the recent airstrikes exclusively hit civilian sites, including the offices of the 26 September and Al-Yemennewspapers.
They explained that the bombing resulted in the deaths and injuries of several journalists, as well as citizens and passersby who happened to be in the vicinity of the targeted area.
Sana’a forces asserted that this brutal aggression will not go unanswered or unpunished, stressing that Israel’s continued targeting of residential neighborhoods and civilian facilities reflects a military failure and an inability to achieve any strategic objectives.
According to observers, the claims of missile platforms being hidden among civilian buildings are “laughable” and expose what they described as “propaganda lies promoted by Israeli media to justify the direct targeting of civilians.”
They pointed out that such violations constitute a blatant breach of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the targeting of journalists, media institutions, and civilian objects during armed conflicts.
The Israeli airstrikes targeted the headquarters of the 26 September newspaper in the residential Al-Tahrir neighborhood, resulting in several martyrs and injuries, in addition to the destruction and damage of several homes in the surrounding area.
