PFLP: Intercepting humanitarian ship carrying unarmed activists cowardly, despicable act

Saba Yemen09-06-2025

Gaza – Saba:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) condemned on Monday "in the strongest terms the Israeli enemy's piracy of the Madeleine ship, which was heading to break the siege on Gaza." It considered it "a new crime added to its black record of targeting international activists and unarmed civilians."
In a statement, a copy of it received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the PFLP held the occupation fully responsible for their safety and called for their immediate release, as well as for widespread popular and international action to confront this rampage, through escalating solidarity and supporting free initiatives that break the siege.
It stated: "The interception of a humanitarian ship carrying unarmed activists and international activists is a cowardly and despicable act that reflects the occupation's failure to break Gaza's isolation or silence the voices of the free."
It emphasized that the ongoing siege is a war crime being committed in full view of the world.
The Front saluted the courage of the international activists on board the ship and their determination to defy the occupation's threats and continue their movement to break the blockade, affirming that the voice of solidarity cannot be confiscated.
It stated: "This piracy will not intimidate free people, but will once again expose the nature of this entity based on terrorism and genocide, and will ignite the international solidarity movement."
It called for "the broadest boycott and legal prosecution campaigns, the organization of new maritime and land movements, and the intensification of pressure on complicit or silent governments."
The Front renewed its call for the launch of freedom flotillas and convoys from all over the world in support of Gaza and to break this unjust blockade, affirming that the Palestinian cause remains alive in the conscience of free people.
It stated: "The occupation has accumulated a dark record of piracy, kidnapping, and targeting of solidarity activists, and it must be confronted with decisive international action and a global popular movement that will put an end to this bloody entity that is hostile to peoples and to all values of justice, freedom, and humanity."

Chinese Media: U.S. Repeating Iraq Mistake in Iran

Beijing - (Saba): Chinese state media reported on Sunday that the US administration is currently repeating in Iran the "mistake" it made when it invaded Iraq in 2003. This came in a commentary by China Global Television Network (CGTN) on the US attacks that targeted Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities at dawn today. The network explained, in an article on its website, that the United States "resorted to war to end the conflict between Israel and Iran," noting that this move "represents a dangerous turning point in the already fragile Middle East." It emphasized that the Middle East "is a complex mosaic of alliances, enmities, and proxy conflicts." It indicated that US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and military infrastructure "could provoke retaliatory responses not only from Iran, but also from its regional allies and proxies, potentially igniting a wider regional war." She pointed out that history has repeatedly proven that military interventions in the Middle East have led to unforeseen consequences, such as protracted conflicts and regional instability. The network continued: "In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq based on distorted intelligence. What was the result? Washington's intervention led to disaster, pushing the region toward chaos and sectarian strife." She added: "After 20 years of occupation, Iraq still lacks stable governance and suffers from the rise of militias and other problems that America has failed to resolve." She asked: "Is the Donald Trump administration now repeating the same mistakes, but this time in Iran, which is three times larger than Iraq?" She concluded by emphasizing that dialogue and negotiation are still possible, noting that this is "the only hope for achieving stability in the Middle East and the world." On Sunday morning, the United States entered the Israeli war against Iran, with President Donald Trump announcing a "highly successful" attack targeting three nuclear sites in Iran: the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities.

Failed Houthi Missile Launch Triggers Massive Explosion in Eastern Taiz

A powerful explosion rocked the Al-Houbane area east of Taiz city on Wednesday, following a failed attempt by Houthi forces to launch a ballistic missile, according to local sources and media reports. Eyewitnesses reported a loud blast that shook residential neighborhoods, sparking panic among civilians. The explosion occurred shortly after the Houthis attempted to fire a missile from a launch site within a populated district. However, the missile malfunctioned and detonated on-site, causing widespread alarm. Sources revealed that the missile was allegedly intended to target Israeli territory, marking a dangerous escalation in the group's regional ambitions. The failed launch underscores growing concerns over the Houthis' use of civilian areas as military platforms, exposing residents to grave risks. This incident adds to a series of similar mishaps in recent months, as the Houthis continue to convert urban zones into launch pads, often without regard for the safety of local populations. Local authorities and human rights groups have condemned the practice, calling for international pressure to prevent the militarization of civilian infrastructure and to hold those responsible accountable for endangering lives.
