Yemen’s Ansarullah revolutionary group denounced on Thursday massacres committed by the Israeli enemy against the Lebanese people, saying the attack, which left hundreds martyred and wounded, reflects “extreme savagery” and warned that continued escalation points to a state of confusion and defeat.
In an official statement, the group’s politburo said the attack forms part of a broader pattern of violence targeting civilians, including women and children, in Gaza Strip and across the region.
Such actions come despite a major setback suffered by Israeli enemy in the ongoing war, Ansarullah stressed.
The group said the latest escalation and further crimes indicate mounting disarray, likening Israeli actions to “a drowning person clutching at straws” in an attempt to offset battlefield losses by striking civilians.
Ansarullah went on to describe the attacks on Lebanon as genocide, accusing the international community of inaction and criticizing both the United Nations and human rights organizations over failure to take meaningful steps to halt the violence.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni revolutionary group asserted that the Israeli massacres would not break the resolve of the Lebanese people or their resistance, but would rather instead deepen their determination.
It reaffirmed Lebanon’s right, and that of the resistance, to respond to the Israeli aggression, calling on Arab nations and free peoples around the world to show solidarity with Lebanon in the face of ongoing aggression.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Israeli enemy launched a wide-scale strikes that targeted residential buildings, religious complex, health facilities, cafes and even a funeral across southern Lebanon, Beirut, Dahiyeh, Mount Lebanon, Bekaa and Sidon, killing at least 254 people and injuring more than 700 others.

The toll is expected to rise as many people are still trapped under rubble, according to health authorities.
Thursday was announced by the Lebanese Government as a day of national mourning.
Pakistan announced on Wednesday a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. Islamabad as well as Tehran insisted that Lebanon is included in the temporary ceasefire.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose occupation entity has been dealt several blows by both the Islamic Republic and Lebanon resistance reneged on the agreement. The occupation army described the wave of raids as the most violent since the war on Lebanon started on March 2, with 100 air strikes carried out in ten minutes.
