Mass rallies took place on Friday across the Yemeni provinces of Saada, Raymah, and Marib, as part of the ongoing weekly demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.
Demonstrators carried banners declaring, "Congratulations to Iran on its victory… Steadfast with Gaza until triumph," as Yemenis expressed their solidarity following the recent ceasefire between Iran and the Israeli occupation.
Protesters gathered in massive numbers in both main and secondary squares throughout cities and districts in Saada, Raymah, and Marib, turning the weekly rallies into a major show of unity and political expression.

Hamas, Yemen tied in brotherly bond
The Chief of Staff of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, recently addressed a message to the Chief of Staff of Yemen’s Armed Forces, Major General Muhammad al-Ghamari, expressing deep appreciation for Yemen’s continued support for the Palestinian people and their resistance.
“You have paid a heavy price worthy of the great in defense of your brothers in Gaza,” the al-Qassam Chief of Staff told al-Ghamari in the message published on June 21. “You have been the most advanced front in the nation when it comes to combat, support, confrontation, mass mobilization, and a resounding voice in every arena of dignity and solidarity.”
He further stressed that Yemen’s position is a source of pride that “history will record and generations will recount,” affirming that “God will not waste Yemen’s jihad and sacrifices.”
The message comes as Yemen, under the leadership of Ansar Allah, continues to carry out operations in support of Gaza by targeting Israeli assets in the occupied Palestinian territories and vessels affiliated with “Israel” in both the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
