Yemeni Jews condemn Israeli massacres in Gaza

SANA'A, Dec. 30 (Saba) – Yemeni Jews have condemned the recent Israeli massacres in the Gaza strip, saying what is happening in the strip is denied by all religions.

Rabbi Yahya said that what the Israeli military is committing in the strip forces
Jews in Yemen to stay home in fear of intimidations by some people who don't like to
understand that Yemeni Jews are not part of Israeli military actions in Palestinian
territories.

For his part, Jew Suleiman Bin Yaqup said Israeli crimes in Gaza are unacceptable by
Yemeni Jews as killing people is unlawful.

The Israeli military hit the Gaza strip for a fourth successive day. Gaza death
toll soared to almost 500 Palestinians as the aristrikes continued on Tuesday
targeting Hamas official buildings. And almost more than 1000 other Gazans were
wounded.

On December 11, a Jew was murdered in Amran province by a Yemeni local. Religious
reasons were said behind the murder.

The murderer went on trial but no verdict has been made yet.

However, Yemeni Jews say that intimidations Jews experience may be as a result of
what Israel commits against Palestinians.

Yemeni Jews claim they are intimidated and persecuted by some people, however, they
say tribe elders intervene to protect them.
