Mass marches erupted across several Yemeni provinces, including Saada, Raymah, Marib, and numerous districts in Amran, Ibb, Taiz, Hajja, Dhamar, Al-Jawf, and Al-Mahwit, reaffirming Yemen's steadfast support for the Palestinian people and their resistance while celebrating Lebanon's victory.
The demonstrations, organized on Friday under the slogan "With Gaza to Victory, and Lebanon's Triumph; Down with Occupation!" were a show of solidarity with both nations amid ongoing regional tensions.
The Supreme Committee for al-Aqsa's Support in Yemen had designated more than 480 central and peripheral gathering points across 14 provinces for today's mass mobilization.
Among the largest concentrations were 107 sites in Hodeidah, 90 in Hajja, 75 in Ibb, and 50 in Amran, alongside additional rallies in Saada, al-Jawf, Raymah, al-Mahwit, Dhamar, and Taiz. Other areas of Yemen, including al-Bayda, Marib, and regions controlled by the Sana'a government in al-Dhale and Lahj, also hosted large-scale gatherings.
These weekly Friday marches, featuring millions of participants, have become a routine display of Yemeni solidarity with Gaza and Lebanon.
Demonstrators carry flags of Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, as well as portraits of martyred leaders, chanting messages of unity and defiance against occupation and colonial powers.
New US-British aggression targets Bajel district in Yemen's Hodeidah
US-UK coalition aircraft launched two airstrikes on Thursday evening targeting the Bajel district in the coastal Hodeidah Governorate on the Red Sea, according to Yemen's Saba news agency in Sanaa.
On November 12, Yemeni media reported that coalition aircraft carried out three airstrikes on the al-Fazah area in the al-Tuhayta district in the southern part of al-Hudaydah.
The day before, the US-British coalition renewed its aggression on Yemen by launching nine airstrikes on the governorates of Amran and Saada.
The aggression is part of the ongoing US-British attacks on Yemen, aimed at pressuring the Yemeni Armed Forces to stop their military operations in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing Israeli war.
Last week, the YAF carried out a military operation targeting the Israeli Nevatim Airbase in the al-Naqab region of southern occupied Palestine.
The operation involved a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile, which successfully hit its target, according to a statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, highlighted the escalation of the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, asserting their control over Israeli maritime activity in the Red Sea.
He also revealed that "Israel" had been forced to reroute its maritime navigation, incurring significant economic costs, and confirmed that ongoing operations using missiles and drone attacks in support of the Palestinian people targeted Israeli sites, including Asqalan, the Nivatim Airbase in al-Naqab, and Umm Al-Rashrash (Eilat) in the past week, underscoring the continuous development of Yemen's military capabilities to further step up resistance efforts.
