Yemenis assert readiness to counter perceived US-Israeli hostilities, voicing solidarity with Palestinian cause
The Yemeni populace has once again mobilized in widespread demonstrations across the nation to voice their solidarity with Palestinians in the conflict-afflicted Gaza Strip.
On Friday, millions of Yemenis gathered in a large-scale demonstration across the capital Sana’a and various provinces, expressing their determination to resist any potential aggression from American or Zionist forces against their nation.
In a concluding declaration, Yemeni citizens vocalized slogans opposing both the United States and Israel, reaffirming their steadfast commitment to continuing their struggle against these nations.
Protests erupted just one day following Israel’s military strikes on Sana’a, the capital, and the strategically significant western province of Hudaydah, resulting in multiple casualties and injuries.
Israeli airstrikes have been reported on multiple strategic locations, including the Haziz and Dhahban power stations located near the capital. The assault also extended to Hudaydah port and the Ras Isa oil facility, adding to the ongoing tensions in the region.
Protesters have issued a warning to Muslim governments and nations, stating that the global community will shape its diplomatic and geopolitical ties based on their commitment to upholding universal principles and values.
The anniversary of the founding of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, along with its military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, was commemorated.
Yemeni citizens have expressed their support for the ongoing efforts of Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip in their confrontations with Israeli forces, whom they describe as criminal.
In their announcement, they urged Muslim and Arab nations to align with the alliances backing the residents and resistance in Gaza and to employ all available resources to support the Palestinian populace.
On October 7, 2023, Israel initiated military operations in Gaza following a surprise offensive, known as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, carried out by Hamas. This escalation comes amid longstanding tensions, as Hamas cited Israel’s extensive and prolonged actions against Palestinians as a catalyst for their response.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Friday that the regime’s intense offensive in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 45,200 Palestinians, predominantly women and children. Approximately 107,500 individuals have sustained injuries, and thousands remain unaccounted for, feared buried under the debris.
