The foreign ministry of the Sanaa government condemned the Israeli occupation's storming of the holy places, the attack on Palestinian worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the arrest of hundreds of them.
In a statement, the Ministry affirmed that "these Zionist practices require a firm response and increased resistance to ensure that the enemy is prevented from once again violating the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque."
The Ministry also held the Israeli occupation full responsibility for all the repercussions that may result from its continued aggression.

The Republic of Yemen, its leadership, government, and people, support and stand by the right of the Palestinian people to legitimately defend themselves and do what they deem appropriate to deter the Zionist enemy and prevent its continuous arrogance by all available means, the statement added.
"These Zionist violations are a disgrace to all those rushing toward normalization with the Zionist entity and clearly indicate the naivety of all the justifications declared by the normalizers."
The Ministry called on all governments that normalized with the Zionist enemy to review their dishonorable stance that doesn't align with the general position of their people nor with the position of the Muslim nation as a whole.
It also called on the Security Council, the United Nations Human Rights Council, and all countries and governments, especially the Arab and Islamic nations, to assume their responsibility to protect the Palestinians, condemn the blatant and continuous violations they are subjected to by the Israeli occupation, and show solidarity with the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to defend themselves until the restoration and liberation of all of their lands.

The Yemeni statement comes after the Israeli occupation forces raided Wednesday dawn Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds and assaulted the Palestinians who are stationed there as part of the religious practice of Itikaf, which is one of the acts of worship during the holy month of Ramadan.
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported the Israeli occupation forces cut the power off Al-Qibli prayer hall despite hundreds of Palestinians being stationed there before storming the prayer hall and brutally attacking the Palestinian worshippers, which resulted in tens of injuries.
The occupation forces also carried out tens of arrests against Palestinians, with the Israeli occupation police announcing that 350 worshippers from Al-Aqsa Mosque were arrested.
Videos shared by worshippers from the mosque show Palestinians being brutally beaten in their place of worship, prompting them to respond to the Israeli occupation using fireworks and stones.
