Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the people of Jordan are not only protesting but are also sending aid to Gaza, as they continue to mount campaigns to boycott supporters of the occupation.

As for Bahrain, protesters demonstrated in the area of Diraz in support of Palestine following the Friday prayers, as the Israeli aggression has resumed at a time when the people of Gaza were not even able to finish extracting the remains of their martyrs from under the rubble.

Bahrain's protesters demanded that the Israeli ambassador be immediately expelled and that the normalization accords be annulled.

The Yemeni Armed Forces had announced their readiness to resume operations against the Israeli occupation should it return to aggressing on the Gaza Strip.

Armed Forces Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement that the Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to expand the scope of their confrontation against the Israeli occupation "to encompass targets ("Israel") does not anticipate, on land and in the sea."

The statement confirmed that the YAF will cease their attacks on Israeli targets once "Israel" ends its aggression on the Gaza Strip. Israeli-owned vessels will not be allowed to sail in and out of the Red Sea, he confirmed.

Saree stressed that these actions come in line with the guidelines set by Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, Ansar Allah's leader, and the demands of the Yemeni people and the free people of the Arab and Islamic Ummahs, to support the Palestinian people and their Resistance.
