Ready for any military development required against 'Israel': Saada
The statement affirms the Yemeni people’s full support for the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance in the face of the arrogance and crimes of the Israeli occupation.
The Yemeni city of Saada witnessed on Sunday a massive public rally in support of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood that the Palestinian Resistance launched on Saturday against the Israeli occupation.
During the rally, the crowds raised the Yemeni and Palestinian flags, banners, and slogans emphasizing the Yemeni people’s full support for the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance in the face of the arrogance and crimes of the Israeli occupation.
The statement of the Saada rally confirmed its support for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, adding that the operation is the battle of the entire nation and all free people of the world, which marks the time of "Israel's" humiliation.
The statement declared readiness for any military or field development required against the Israeli enemy and declared full authorization to Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi to take any strategic decisions for confrontation with the enemy at any time and place.
The Saada rally statement called on the people of the Islamic nation to work to support the Palestinian Resistance with all possible means until victory is achieved, underlining that the forces of arrogance and normalization must realize that they are powerless in the face of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

On Saturday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Yemen reported that Yemenis staged a massive rally in support and endorsement of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in Bab al-Yemen in the capital Sanaa.
The Supreme Political Council in Yemen congratulated the Palestinian Resistance on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the victories achieved, affirming "the right of the Palestinian people and resistance factions to confront the occupying enemy by all legitimate and possible means."
Similarly, the coastal city of Hodeidah on the Red Sea in western Yemen witnessed a massive popular rally in support of the Palestinian Resistance's operation.
Participants praised the qualitative operation carried out by the heroes of the Palestinian Resistance in response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation.
Yemenis also raised slogans supporting the Resistance fighters and their operations, expressing their pride and honor "in the sacrifices of Resistance heroes and their heroism in defending Palestinian land, honor, and sovereignty, despite the lack of resources and the betrayal of proxy Arab regimes."
This comes as al-Qassam Brigades confirmed in a statement that its Resistance fighters are still engaged in fierce confrontations in several locations in Gaza envelope settlements.
In a related context, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported ongoing confrontations between the Resistance fighters and the Israeli occupation forces on six fronts in illegal Israeli settlements.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
The Israeli occupation woke up at dawn Saturday to a sudden and widespread attack launched by the Palestinian Resistance into Gaza Envelope settlements, successfully taking Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers captive while causing hundreds of fatalities among them, under an Operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood, in a huge intelligence flop.
Hours after the start of the operation, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in a recorded statement that "Israel" is "at war", adding that Hamas initiated "a surprise attack."
Earlier, Israeli media reported that unofficial estimates show that about 750 Israelis are still missing. The Israeli occupation Ministry of Health also announced that the death toll had risen to 350 and the wounded to 1,864, including 19 clinical deaths and 326 in serious condition, while Channel 13 indicated that the number of Israeli deaths is "only the tip of the iceberg compared to the real number."
On its part, the Israeli occupation launched a new aggression against the Gaza Strip, conducting extensive air raids against residential buildings in the Strip that claimed the lives of 313 Palestinians so far, including 20 children.
