Dozens of massive rallies were held Friday morning across the Yemeni governorates of Saada, Raymah, Marib, and several districts in the governorates of Amran, Ibb, Taiz, Hajjah, Dhamar, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and their Resistance under the slogan, "Steadfast with Gaza, we will continue to confront the Zionist-American project."
The Supreme Committee for Supporting al-Aqsa in Yemen called for a million-person march at al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sanaa, as well as rallies in more than 550 main and secondary squares in different cities and districts across Yemeni governorates in solidarity with the people of Gaza under the same slogan.
Meanwhile, million-person marches are planned for this afternoon at al-Sabeen Square and across cities and districts in the coastal governorate of al-Hodeidah on the Red Sea, with rallies set to take place at 112 squares and fields.
In central Yemen's Ibb, 88 locations have been designated, while Hajjah in the northwest will see gatherings at 133 locations.
Other major rallies are scheduled for Dhamar, south of Sanaa; Marib and al-Jawf in the northeast; Taiz in the southwest; and Amran in the North, which will witness 52 marches, as well as al-Mahwit in the west.
Additional rallies are also planned across dozens of squares in Marib, al-Bayda, and areas under the control of the Sanaa government in the southern governorates of Lahj and al-Dhale.
Yemen's support for Palestinian cause
On Thursday, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, highlighted Yemen's active involvement in supporting the Palestinian cause, including joint operations between Yemeni and Iraqi Resistance forces targeting Israeli interests.
Sayyed al-Houthi called for mass demonstrations in Yemen to express solidarity with Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, urging continued resistance to Israeli and US aggression.
He 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," the Yemeni leader stated, affirming that their stance is "rooted in faith and trust in God."
Sayyed al-Houthi condemned Israeli attacks in Gaza, specifically the deliberate bombing of the oxygen plant at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, which he described as a crime against children and patients in intensive care.
He also denounced the Israeli occupation's ongoing crimes, including house demolitions, land seizures, and the establishment of new settlements in the West Bank.
