No military leaders have been assassinated, according to sources in Yemen's Defense Ministry, who informed Al Mayadeen's correspondent that these reports are entirely fabricated and constitute mere psychological warfare.
The Yemeni Defense Ministry source told our correspondent that "Israel" has absolutely failed in its attempts to reach Yemeni military leaders, who have greatly benefited from the lessons learned across the region.
The Yemeni source added that, with such claims, Israeli authorities are attempting to prepare the Israeli public for the prospect of future Yemeni operations that will strike targets deep inside "Israel".
This closely follows the recent Israeli airstrikes that targeted residential areas in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, refuting Israeli claims of carrying out major assassinations.
All this failed to deter the Yemeni people from holding their weekly marches on Friday in support of Palestine.
Million-strong marches continue in Yemen
Massive, million-strong popular marches took place across Yemen this Friday in a powerful show of solidarity with the Palestinian people and in support of Gaza and its Resistance, under the slogan: "With Gaza, in struggle and steadfastness… enfuriated by the spilled blood and violated sanctities."
The participants gathered in al-Sabeen Square in Sanaa, as well as in over 500 central and subsidiary squares across cities and districts in the governorates of Al Hodeidah, Hajjah, Ibb, Amran, Taiz, Dhamar, al-Bayda, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit, along with areas in the Ad Dali' and Lahj governorates.
In their official statement, the Yemenis affirmed their steadfast support for Gaza and Palestine until victory is achieved, strongly emphasizing that "any Zionist or American aggression or escalation cannot force us to abandon our religion, our identity, our principles, our values, and our stance with Gaza."
They also stated that they are closely monitoring the declared, practical steps being orchestrated to target and demolish the al-Aqsa Mosque, which they view as part of the scheme to establish the so-called "Greater Israel".
In this context, the demonstrations called upon the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations to prepare themselves and to seriously consider the practical Zionist steps being taken and how to confront them.
The marches praised the qualitative achievement of the Yemeni Armed Forces, whereby they succeeded in producing missiles with warheads capable of fragmenting in the process, which "have driven the Zionists to madness since the very first strike."
They also strongly condemned the act committed by "the Zionist and American enemies, through an American Zionist sympathizer, of burning a copy of the Holy Quran."
