US-British air aggression results in massive fires in the city of Taiz southwestern Yemen on August 7, 2024 (Social media)
The United States and Britain carried out an air aggression during the early hours of Wednesday, targeting the city of Taiz in southwestern Yemen.
Since January, the two countries have launched dozens of airstrikes against the Arab country, resulting in tens of martyrs, in attempts to force Sanaa into ending its operations in support of Gaza which is still facing an ongoing Israeli genocide for ten months.

Since January, the two countries have launched dozens of airstrikes against the Arab nation, resulting in numerous martyrs. These attacks aim to pressure Sanaa into ceasing its operations in support of Gaza, which has been facing an ongoing Israeli genocide for ten months.
Attempts seeking to deter Yemen from continuing its military operations also included "Israel," who launched an air attack last month on the civilian power station in Hodeidah, killing six civil servants and causing extensive material and financial damage to the besieged country.
'Long war'
In response to the aggression on Hodeida, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces General Yahya Saree designated occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) as an unsafe zone, vowing an inevitable Yemeni retaliation.
Saree emphasized that the armed forces "will not hesitate" to strike vital Israeli targets in the Israeli entity and that operations in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza will not stop regardless of the consequences.

The Yemeni people "are preparing for a long war with this enemy ["Israel"] until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted and the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza are over," he added.
The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, underlined repeatedly that the joint US-British aggression "will never affect" Yemen's "principles and faithful stance" of supporting Gaza.
During a speech in June, Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the aggressors "are working to protect Zionist interests at sea and striving to secure [their interests] so they can continue their genocide without disturbance."
