Hamas and Iran both release statements criticizing Israel for carrying out a wave of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
“These aggressions are a clear violation of international peace and security and an undeniable crime against the heroic and noble people of Yemen, who have not spared any effort to support the oppressed people of Palestine against the occupation and genocide,” says Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei in a statement.
In a statement Hamas says that it “condemns the brutal terrorist aggression carried out by the Zionist enemy against our brothers from Yemen, targeting civilian sites including Sanaa Airport and the port of Hodeida.”
