Thousands of the students took part in a scout march that roamed the Yemeni capital Sanaa in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in condemnation of the brutality against pro-Palestinian students and professors at universities in the United States and Europe.

During the march, students formed a human chain extending from the 70 Square south of the capital to the al-Sarkha Roundabout near Sanaa International Airport in the north.

The march's statement, which bore the slogan "Generation of the Hereafter's Promise," affirmed Yemen's steadfast stance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people, as well as the Yemeni people's readiness to fight alongside the Resistance in Gaza.

The participants hailed the honorable stances of the pro-Palestinian students at American and European universities and the positions of free academic professors who mobilized in support of the oppressed Palestinian people, condemning the suppression, assaults, and arrests they are facing by the Zionist lobby in the United States.

They also declared their support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of a new stage in escalations that involves the targeting of ships heading to Israeli ports from the Mediterranean Sea.

The statement condemned the silence and inaction regarding the continued Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, holding the US administration responsible for the ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

Elsewhere, the participants emphasized the continuation of the economic boycott campaign against American and Israeli goods and companies supporting them as the least that can be done in support of Palestine.

On Friday, the spokesperson for the YAF Yahya Saree announced the implementation of the fourth phase of escalation by targeting ships moving toward occupied Palestinian ports. Saree outlined three measures: targeting violating ships, immediate implementation, and imposing sanctions on ships related to supplying occupied Palestinian ports if "Israel" invades Rafah.
