  • Undeterred by intense US aggression, Yemenis reaffirm support for GazaDemonstrators shout slogans and raise their assault rifles during a rally in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and in condemnation of US strikes, outside Sanaa's Saleh Grand Mosque in Yemen's capital, on April 11, 2025 (AFP)

Provinces across Yemen—including Saada, Raymah, and Marib—witnessed mass rallies on Friday in solidarity with the Palestinian people, under the slogan “Steadfast with Gaza in the Face of US-Israeli Escalation.”

The large-scale morning demonstrations were held in more than 100 main and secondary squares in the cities and districts of Saada, Raymah, Marib, and other provinces, expressing support for the people of Gaza.

Later in the day, a massive nationwide turnout is expected, with a million-person march planned for the evening in Sabeen Square in the capital, Sanaa, along with demonstrations in more than 400 main and secondary locations across cities and districts in various provinces.

These marches aim to support the Palestinian people and back the operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces in solidarity with Gaza.

In Saada province, in northern Yemen, the Committee to Support Al-Aqsa designated 35 locations for the million-person marches, while 88 squares were designated in Raymah province, west of Sanaa.

Injuries, panic among Israeli settlers following missile from Yemen

Earlier today, the Israeli military claimed that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen after sirens were activated.

Israeli media reported that sirens sounded in central "Israel" and occupied al-Quds following the missile launch from Yemen.

An Israeli media outlet reported that a fire broke out near Beit Shemesh as a result of the Yemeni missile strike.

The reports confirmed that several Israelis were injured while heading to shelters, and cases of panic-induced trauma were also recorded.

The missile fire from Yemen came a couple of hours after intense US airstrikes targeted late Thursday the port of Ras Isa in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah.

The Ras Isa assault came amid renewed US airstrikes on the facility, with warplanes returning to bomb the site early on Friday.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, at least five emergency workers were killed by the strikes while fighting the fires.

The attack on Ras Isa follows a pattern of intensified US airstrikes across Yemen, targeting civilian areas and critical infrastructure in multiple provinces. While Washington claims the airstrikes are aimed at neutralizing missile launch sites, Yemeni officials and residents stress that the strikes are disproportionately affecting civilians.

Al-Masirah TV, citing the Health Office in Hodeidah, said the death toll from the US attack on the Ras Isa facility has risen to 58 martyrs and 126 injured, with the toll from the massacre likely to rise, considering all the critical injuries reported and the ongoing search for missing persons.

Despite repeated US-British attacks on its territory, Yemen continues to strike deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories in support of Gaza and the Palestinian resistance.

The Yemeni Armed Forces also persist in disrupting Israeli maritime activity and targeting US destroyers and hostile naval vessels.

Sayyed al-Houthi reaffirms Yemen to remain unbroken despite aggression 

On Thursday, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, affirmed that Yemen’s position on the regional level remains unified, stable, and militarily active in support of Palestine, despite ongoing US airstrikes targeting the country.

In a televised speech, Sayyed al-Houthi stated, "The Yemeni front is strong and inspiring—it stands as a model for others. Our people, despite enduring hardship, have risen to fulfill their faith-based and jihadi duty, which has deeply angered the American and Israeli enemies."

He stressed that Yemen’s stance, both official and popular, continues to support what he referred to as the "promised liberation and sacred struggle."

Sayyed al-Houthi accused the United States of escalating its military campaign in Yemen in a bid to pressure the country's resistance stance. He reported that US forces carried out over 220 airstrikes this week using stealth fighters and F-18 jets, as well as more than 900 air and naval attacks over the past month.

Despite these attacks, Sayyed al-Houthi claimed the strikes have failed to deter Yemen’s operations in support of Palestine. "The American aggression has not succeeded in securing Israeli vessels. The Red Sea and the Arabian Sea remain completely closed to Israeli shipping," he said.

He asserted that the ongoing blockade on Israeli maritime activity is a clear indicator of the failure of American military efforts.

According to Sayyed al-Houthi, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out 78 operations over the past month, involving 171 ballistic, cruise, hypersonic missiles, and drones.
