Millions took to the streets of the provinces of Yemen in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance under the banner of "The blood of the free breeds victory."

Large crowds marched in the processions in the city of Saada, at the Martyr Commander Square in the Marazm area, and in the directorate of Razih, as well as in al-Jarasha in the Ghamr Directorate, west of the province.

The concluding statement of the Saada demonstrations affirmed full readiness and preparedness for combat and direct confrontation, alongside the Yemeni Armed Forces, against the US.

The statement condemned the assassination operations carried out by the occupation forces against the leaders of the Resistance (referring to the assassination of the Hamas deputy of the political bureau in Beirut and the assassination of the IRGC commander in Damascus). 

The demonstrators confirmed popular support "for the decisions of the leadership and the operations of the armed forces against the American and Zionist enemies".

The statement declared that "the blood of the Yemeni Navy martyrs in the American aggression will not be in vain."

It also emphasized the importance of a boycott, urging the arab nations to boycott American and Israeli goods and products.

The statement renewed the call for Arab countries to open land crossings and facilitate the passage of hundreds of thousands of Yemeni fighters to occupied Palestine.

UK, US to turn Red Sea into warzone, launch attack on Yemen: The Times

Last week, The Times reported that the UK is preparing to join the United States and other Western countries to launch a series of air aggressions on Yemen or Yemeni-affiliated targets in the Red Sea. 

This came after a Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson announced that a number of the country's naval units were martyred in a US helicopter attack while "carrying out their duty" toward Palestine in the Red Sea.

Meanwhile, the armed forces also announced the successful targeting of the Maersk Hangzhou ship, which was heading to the occupation entity's ports. The attack prompted the shipping firm to halt its navigation through the Red Sea, shortly after it announced resuming its operations in the strategic trade route.

In response, the British Defense Secretary said, “If the Houthis continue to threaten lives and trade, we will be forced to take the necessary and appropriate action.”

Citing sources, the newspaper said that Grant Shapps' comments were a "last warning" if Sanaa does not stop conducting operations, noting that the Western response would likely be “limited” but “significant”.

The Yemeni Armed Forces launched in November a phase of operations against Israeli and "Israel"-bound ships, both in the Red and Arabian seas, in response to the Israeli brutal war on Gaza, which has so far led to the martyrdom of over 22,000 Palestinians, over 70% of which are women and children.

Since then, the Yemeni army successfully detained the Galaxy Leader Israeli ship and targeted several others. Based on these developments, the world's leading shipping companies announced redirecting their vessels away from the Red Sea, without specifying a timeline for this decision.

Almost two weeks ago, Washington announced the establishment of a 20-nation maritime coalition under the Operation Prosperity Guardian initiative, also including the UK, with the declared mission of putting an end to the Yemeni operations.

However, the coalition suffered major setbacks, including the withdrawal of France and Spain, and was unsuccessful in stopping the Yemenis from enforcing their equation.
