Yemen's governorates of Saada, Raymah, Marib, and several districts in the governorates of Amran, Ibb, Taiz, Hajjah, Dhamar, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit witnessed Friday more than 140 massive rallies in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance, as well as in support of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), under the slogan, "With Gaza, our Jihad escalates until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted."
Yemen is expected to see a mass turnout in the al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sanaa, along with gatherings in nearly 800 central and subsidiary venues in cities and districts across the governorates, in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.
The rallies come just hours after an American-British aggression targeted Yemen's Harf Sufyan district in Amran Governorate, north of Sanaa, with five airstrikes.
A couple of days ago, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that its missile force and UAV unit targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and several accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea.
The operation involved multiple cruise missiles and drones and took place amid US attempts to carry out hostile operations against Yemen, the YAF said.
The latest aggression also comes two days after the announcement of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal between "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.
Earlier, the Yemeni government in Sanaa warned the United States, the United Kingdom, the Israeli occupation, and all adversaries of Yemen against any retaliatory actions or conspiracies targeting the Yemeni people, vowing to confront any such aggression "with strength and determination."
The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, reaffirmed Thursday that the YAF's stance aligns with Palestinian factions and will continue to support them as the ceasefire agreement in Gaza moves toward implementation on Sunday.
In a televised address, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that Yemeni military operations would persist in support of the Palestinian people if Israeli aggression, including massacres and escalation, continues.
"We will monitor the stages of the agreement's implementation, and any Israeli violations, massacres, or tightening of the siege will prompt immediate military support," the Yemeni leader underlined.
The ceasefire agreement, which involves the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian prisoners, is pending approval by the Israeli occupation's security cabinet.
Once ratified, it will pave the way for negotiations on the terms of a permanent resolution to the war on Gaza.
