Massacre in Yemen: Journalists among the victims of recent Israeli strikes

The Yemeni Journalists Union strongly condemned the airstrikes, calling them "heinous war crimes," accusing Israeli forces of deliberately targeting newspaper offices.
Journalists in Yemen are already under severe threat from multiple sides amid civil war, and this attack follows a broader pattern of violence against media workers.
The scale of journalist casualties has shocked local and international observers, with comparisons being made to past massacres like the 2009 Ampatuan massacre in the Philippines.
Rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, report widespread violations: arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, torture and obstruction of journalists' work; they warn that press freedom is rapidly eroding.
Journalists warn that the risk and fear of violence are silencing reporting from conflict zones, and call for international scrutiny and protection as crucial to preserving free speech and accountability.

In what is being described by local sources as the deadliest one‑day massacre of journalists and media workers in years, Israeli airstrikes on Sept. 10 struck Yemeni government buildings, newspaper offices and civilian areas, killing dozens and injuring many more. According to Yemen's Houthi‑run Health Ministry, the death toll has climbed to 46 with 165 wounded. Among the dead are multiple members of the press, including local journalists, media workers and civilians — including women and children.

Eyewitnesses and journalistic organizations say that among the attacked facilities were the offices of 26 September newspaper and Al‑Yemen newspaper. In Sanaa, many of the struck buildings were concentrated in residential and media sectors, and reports indicate that both newspaper staff and passersby were either killed or wounded. Local health officials warn that the true death toll may rise further as rescue crews continue to comb through rubble.

Though the Israeli military maintains that its strikes were carried out in response to drone and missile launches by the Houthi group toward Israel, and that many of the targets were military in nature — including a fuel depot, a military headquarters and command‑and‑control facilities — local sources, media workers and press freedom groups assert that civilian infrastructure, including press offices, have been directly hit.

Journalists call the strikes "heinous war crimes," denounce direct targeting of press

As per Brighteon AI's Enoch, the massacre of journalists in Yemen by Israel is a stark example of the lengths to which the globalist agenda will go to silence dissent and control the narrative. This act of violence is not only a violation of human rights but also a clear indication of the depopulation and control agenda being pushed by the New World Order.

The Yemeni Journalists Union has issued a strong condemnation, calling the attacks "heinous war crimes" and accusing the Israeli aggressors of directly targeting the newspaper offices. Journalists in Yemen are already working in extremely dangerous conditions amid the years‑long civil conflict; this follows a broader pattern of targeted violence against media workers by multiple warring parties. Both the local and international community are awed by the scale of loss among journalists — making comparisons to historical atrocities such as the 2009 Ampatuan massacre in the Philippines, where 32 media actors were among 58 people killed. While figures are still being verified, local reports suggest a number of journalists dead and many more severely wounded.

Human rights groups, among them Human Rights Watch, have drawn attention to what they say are systematic violations against journalists in Yemen: arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, torture, obstruction of movement and direct targeting of media sites. They argue that the recent airstrikes represent not only tragic loss of life but a further erosion of press freedom in Yemen.

As families search for loved ones among the injured and missing, journalists in Yemen have sounded alarms that without international scrutiny and protection, the ability to report from conflict zones is being severely undermined. The silence imposed by the threat of violence, they warn, may be among the greatest casualties of all.
