Government spokesperson: Zionist enemy’s targeting of hospitals, medical facilities, patients, healthcare staff constitutes full-fledged war crime

The government spokesperson acting Minister of Information, Dr. Omar Al-Bukhaiti has condemned, in the strongest possible terms, the brutal crime committed by the Zionist enemy in targeting Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.

The attack resulted in the martyrdom of six Palestinians, including a doctor and a child, and left dozens of others wounded.

In a statement , Dr. Al-Bukhsiti described the act as a criminal assault directed against patients, medical personnel, and healthcare facilities.

He emphasized that the targeting of hospitals, medical facilities, patients, and healthcare staff constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and charters—which mandate the protection of medical facilities, their staff, and patients.

He added that this once again exposes the criminal nature of the Zionist enemy and its utter disregard for all human values and norms.

He further noted that the Zionist enemy’s continued commission of massacres and its targeting of civilian and medical facilities underscore its determination to persist in a war of extermination and destruction against the Palestinian people—taking advantage of international silence, complicity, and the absence of any deterrent measures to hold its leaders and perpetrators accountable.

The government spokesperson pointed out that this crime is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a long record of systematic targeting of hospitals and medical personnel in the Gaza Strip. It occurs within the context of a war that targets the Palestinian people and the very foundations of life in the Strip, seeking to deprive the sick and the wounded of their most basic human rights—access to medical treatment and healthcare.

He held the international community, the United Nations, and various human rights and humanitarian organizations legally and morally responsible for the continuation of these crimes, citing their failure to take concrete stances or practical measures to halt the aggression and hold its perpetrators accountable.

Al-Bukhaiti called upon free people across the globe, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, to support the Palestinian cause, stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and take practical steps to stop the Zionist crimes.

He further urged efforts to pursue the leaders of the enemy and hold them accountable before international courts as war criminals.

He reaffirmed Yemen’s steadfast and principled position in support of the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to confront the occupation and reclaim their rightful claims. He emphasized that the crimes of the Zionist enemy will not be subject to a statute of limitations, and that the blood of the martyrs will forever bear witness to the scale of this criminality and international complicity.
