Lebanon’s Hezbollah party condemned on Sunday the large-scale military strikes by the US against Yemen’s Houthis, according to a statement.
The strikes on Saturday targeting Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have killed at least 31 people, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.
US President Donald Trump said he ordered a series of airstrikes on the Houthi-held areas in Yemen on Saturday.
Trump promised to use “overwhelming lethal force” until the Iran-backed militias cease their attacks on shipping along a vital maritime corridor.

Syria's foreign ministry on Tuesday condemned Israeli strikes on the southwestern city of Daraa, which it said killed and injured civilians.

The strikes a day earlier killed at least three people and injured 19 others, the Syrian civil defense group, known as the White Helmets, said.

The Syrian foreign ministry said the strikes were "part of a campaign waged by Israel against the Syrian people and the country's stability", Reuters reported.

"The ongoing Israeli aggression on Syria is not only a violation of international law, but is also a direct threat to regional and international security," the ministry said.

The Israeli army confirmed the strikes, the latest in a string of attacks targeting Syria's military infrastructure since opposition factions toppled President Bashar al-Assad in December.

Israel said it targeted military headquarters and sites containing weapons and equipment.
