The Hodeidah city has held funerals for the victims of the Ras Issa massacre, which was carried out by US aggression several days ago.
The attack claimed the lives of 80 civilians and injured 150 others, most of whom were employees and workers at Al-Salif Port.
The funeral procession began in front of Al-Ridha Mosque in the city of Hodeidah on Saturday, with large public turnout and the participation of local officials, led by Hodeidah Governor Abdullah Atifi.
Mourners condemned the attack, stating that “the American aggression targeting a civilian service facility as vital as Ras Issa Port constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian conventions.” They held the US administration fully responsible for the massacre.
They emphasized that “the blood of the martyrs will not be in vain, but will yield victory over the forces of arrogance,” stressing the Yemeni people’s resolve to resist, stand firm, and fight until total victory is achieved.
The mourners also renewed their unwavering support and authorization for the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, to take all necessary decisions in response to the crime—including the expansion of military operations against the aggressors and the targeting of American and Israeli interests in the Red Sea and beyond.
They called on all Yemenis to “mobilize across all fronts—military, media, and political—and to reject all forms of foreign tutelage or subordination.”
