Israel, with direct approval and full military support from the United States, has unleashed more than 40 airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, using advanced U.S.-supplied fighter jets. This reckless escalation comes amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and recent attacks on Lebanon, exposing its campaign of unchecked aggression across the region.
Since October, Israel has been waging war not only on Gaza but also destabilizing the broader Middle East. With Washington’s cover, Israel has expanded its assaults beyond Palestine, bombing Lebanon and now Yemen. Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthis), standing firmly with Palestine, have disrupted Israeli-linked shipping and intercepted drones in solidarity with Gaza. Israel has exploited this as a pretext to intensify its bombardment of an already war-torn Yemen. Despite years of Saudi-led blockade, famine, and disease, Yemen continues to resist foreign domination with resilience and courage.
The latest Israeli strikes devastated multiple areas of Sana’a in one of the heaviest bombardments in recent months. Simultaneously, Israel continues its slaughter in Gaza, obliterating homes, hospitals, and refugee camps while starving civilians. Just two days earlier, Israel also struck southern Lebanon, showing its determination to ignite multiple fronts of war while civilians across the region bear the brunt of its bombs.
Israel’s regional escalation exposes its desperation to crush every voice of resistance. Far from securing its dominance, such aggression risks igniting a full-scale regional war. Yemen has vowed to escalate retaliations on Israeli-linked targets, while Lebanese resistance forces also intensify their operations. By relying almost entirely on U.S. weapons, intelligence, and diplomatic protection, Israel is essentially waging Washington’s proxy war in the Middle East, one that fuels endless instability and bloodshed.
The airstrikes further devastate a Yemen already enduring one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters after years of blockade and foreign intervention. Civilian infrastructure in Sana’a, already hanging by a thread, faces total collapse under Israeli bombardment. Meanwhile, Gaza suffers apocalyptic conditions: starvation deliberately imposed by siege, thousands displaced with nowhere safe to flee, and disease spreading through overcrowded shelters. With U.S. support, Israel is collectively punishing millions of civilians across multiple countries.
Condemnations poured in across the region. Yemeni officials vowed to respond “with bravery and strength,” affirming their resilience against foreign aggression. Hamas strongly denounced the strikes, framing them as part of Israel’s regional war crimes. The Palestinian Resistance Committees likewise condemned the attack, linking it to the genocide in Gaza. The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baqaei, strongly condemned the Zionist military aggression against Yemen. Human rights groups worldwide have slammed Washington for enabling Israel’s reign of terror, accusing both of crimes against humanity.
Israel’s simultaneous wars on Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen with full U.S. backing, expose a reckless and expansionist agenda built on mass slaughter. Far from deterring resistance, its aggression is only uniting regional movements against its occupation and war crimes. The U.S. shares direct responsibility: its weapons kill, its vetoes shield, and its silence enables. As Israel bombs multiple nations at once, the Middle East edges closer to all-out war, one in which oppressed peoples from Gaza to Sana’a are prepared to resist with unshakable resolve.
