Statement of Condemnation by the #Entesaf Organization Regarding the Israeli Aggression Against Civilians, Civilian Objects, and Service Facilities in the Capital, Sana’a

On Aug 24, 2025

We condemn and denounce in the strongest terms the continued crimes of the Israeli aggression against the Yemeni people through its deliberate bombing of civilians and civilian and service facilities in the capital, Sana’a, with a number of airstrikes targeting the Haziz Power Station, south of the capital, Sana’a, and the Oil Company’s station on 60th Street, in addition to densely populated neighborhoods of the city, resulting in the deaths of two civilians and the wounding of 35 others, on the afternoon of this Sunday, August 24, 2025.

This targeting of civilians and civilian and service facilities constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law, which criminalizes their targeting in any form. It also confirms the deliberate violation by the Israeli enemy forces of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, including the principles of humanity, distinction, and proportionality. This has made these crimes amount to crimes against humanity and an extension of the series of war crimes and genocide committed by the aggression coalition against Yemen for more than ten years.

We hold Israel responsible for all crimes committed against civilians, and we demand an investigation and criminal accountability for all those proven to be involved in these crimes. We also hold the United Nations and the Security Council responsible for their shameful silence and shirking of their duties, which has encouraged Israel to continue committing more war crimes against civilians in Yemen.

We renew our appeal to the international community, human rights and humanitarian organizations, and all honorable and free people around the world to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities in supporting the oppressed Yemeni people, condemning the horrific crimes committed by the Israeli enemy, and pressuring the United Nations, specifically the Security Council, to fulfill their legal and moral duty to protect civilians and stop the war and all forms of aggression. We also renew our call for the formation of an impartial international commission of inquiry to investigate all crimes and massacres committed by Israeli forces against defenseless civilians.
