The Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the provinces of al-Hudaydah, Ibb, Dhamar, Amran, Saada, Raymah, Al-Bayda, Hajjah, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit witnessed large popular demonstrations after the Friday prayers in support of the Palestinian Resistance movements and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.

The masses in the capital, Sanaa, and the remainder of the governorates raised Palestinian flags and banners and chanted slogans reaffirming Yemen's steadfast stance, both in terms of its leadership and people, in support of the Palestinian people and the resistance movements against the Israeli occupation.

The large crowds chanted in support of Operation al-Aqsa Flood and the great and historic victories realized by the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance against the Israeli occupation, congratulating the resistance for its conquests.

The Yemen people stressed that freedom fighting and Resistance were the optimal means of "deterring the Zionist-American aggression and defending the Islamic sanctities."

A popular statement read: "The Yemeni people support the resilience of the steadfast Palestinian people and their Resistance movements in all the choices they make in the battle against the criminal Zionist occupation."

The statement further praised the heroic operations taking place in Gaza, the West Bank, and all Palestinian cities, as well as on the Lebanese borders with occupied Palestine.

The Yemeni people condemned "the ongoing Zionist-American crimes and the genocidal crimes committed against the Palestinian people," expressing their gratitude for the operation carried out by the Yemeni Naval Forces.

Remarkable operation

The Yemeni Naval Forces managed to capture an Israeli ship in the depths of the Red Sea, sources familiar with the matter told Al Mayadeen on Sunday.

Reportedly, 52 people aboard the Israeli ship, presumably a vehicle carrier, were detained, Al Mayadeen's sources added, revealing that the Yemeni Armed Forces were working on revealing their identities and nationalities.

The ship is called the Galaxy Leader. It is Bahamian-flagged but owned by an Israeli businessman.

"Await what will warm your hearts," a Yemeni military source said, confirming the authenticity of the news Al Mayadeen reported.

Reportedly, the Yemeni Armed Forces used a helicopter and hovered with it over the Israeli ship before rappelling down to the deck and taking control of it, NBC News reported.

The Naval Forces, they said, succeeded in their "swift implementation of the directives of the revolution's leader and the demands of the Yemeni people to attack Israeli ships," which reflects "an honorable stance" by the Yemeni people in the face of the Israeli occupation.

The statement issued by the demonstrators reiterated the Yemeni people's demands for the Arab and Islamic countries to open their land crossings to allow for the Yemeni people "who are anguished by the cries of help and calls of support from the oppressed in Palestine, so they can directly participate in the holy battles taking place in occupied Palestine."

Yemen hails resilience of Palestinians

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Mohammad Abdul Salam, praised earlier on Friday the Palestinian people for their "great resilience alongside their valiant Resistance in the face of the Zionist-American aggression on the Gaza Strip."

Abdul Salam, in a post on X, affirmed that "this exceptional resilience thwarted the enemy's goals, forcing it to yield to a truce on the terms of the resistance, without achieving any of their declared objectives."

He added that the Resistance in Gaza "prevailed and will continue to prevail, spearheaded by Hamas," pointing out that "the enemy has no choice but to acknowledge its strategic loss from the first day of the battle of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood."

Earlier, Israeli Likud party MK, Tali Goitein, said "Israel" has conceded "everything" to Hamas in the ceasefire agreement "without receiving even a sign of life from the prisoners in Gaza."

Goitein added that "agreeing to hours of ceasefire and fuel entry are actions that strengthen Hamas, and it would be interpreted as weakness on our part."

The Yemeni Armed Forces ahead of the ceasefire launched a series of cruise missiles at various Israeli military targets in Umm al-Rashrash - 'Eilat' - Southern occupied Palestine.

In a statement, the Yemeni army emphasized that it will continue to carry out operations against Israeli sites until the cessation of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported the activation of alarm sirens in Eilat due to a cruise missile launched from Yemen.
