Yemen's million-man marches, held every Friday in solidarity with the Palestinian people and Gaza, continue reflecting the Yemeni people's steadfast stance and their government's endless support for Palestine. 

In a statement issued on Friday, the organizers of the million-strong marches affirmed in a statement their continued commitment to their principled and faith-driven stance, firmly supporting the Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters, as evident throughout the Yemeni Armed Forces' fifth phase of escalation.

This includes participation in "activities, events, financial donations, and the economic boycott of the enemies."

The statement also noted that the Yemeni Resistance continues carrying out operations against the United States, particularly its assets in the operations-designated naval zone defined by the YAF, striking its warships and aircraft carriers with full force and determination. 

The organizers further declared Yemen's ongoing "public mobilization, with hundreds of thousands of fighters joining military training courses with sincere faith and unwavering conviction," reiterating support for "our brothers in Hezbollah in confronting all challenges and threats."

YAF announce several operations

In turn, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree addressed protesters during the march, announcing that the Air Force units carried out two military operations targeting two sites in Askalan and Yafa in occupied Palestine.

Both operations were executed using drones that were able to bypass the interception systems and successfully reach their targets.

Saree also revealed a joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, targeting vital targets in the south of occupied Palestine.

Concluding his statement, the spokesperson confirmed Yemen's unwavering support for Palestine, reiterating that its military operations will continue striking enemy strongholds and vital targets until the Israeli siege is lifted the aggression on the Gaza Strip ends. 

This comes after Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul Malak Al-Houthi highlighted Yemen's active involvement in supporting the Palestinian cause, including joint operations between Yemeni and Iraqi Resistance forces targeting Israeli interests.

During his weekly speech on Thursday, he called for mass demonstrations in Yemen to express solidarity with Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, urging continued resistance to Israeli and US aggression.

Sayyed Al-Houthi emphasized the extensive training provided to hundreds of thousands of Yemenis to enhance their combat skills and psychological readiness, declaring their preparedness to fight those who threaten Yemen's sovereignty.

"We have trained our people to acquire combat skills and stand prepared psychologically, culturally, and spiritually for the battle," he stated, affirming that their stance is "rooted in faith and trust in God."
