Yemen's support for Palestine is unparalleled; the Yemeni people have done everything for their Palestinian brothers, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement's representative in Yemen, Ahmed Baraka, told Al Mayadeen on Sunday.

"The wounded people of Yemen donate to the wounded in occupied Palestine, and there is nothing greater than this in terms of what the Yemeni people can offer their brothers in occupied Palestine," Baraka said.

"The Yemeni people have done everything, as they have participated in popular protests, contributed financially, and engaged in armed Resistance for the sake of Palestine," he added.

Baraka emphasized in his statements to Al Mayadeen that the Yemeni people "have left no excuse for anyone," stressing that Yemen, with its significant support for the Palestinian people, is a model that all Arab states must follow.

The PIJ representative called on those who "wish to seek Arabism" to "look for it here in Yemen."

From Yemen in solidarity with Palestine

Yemen entered into direct confrontation with "Israel" by officially announcing several military and strategic operations as part of an escalating approach, using a large number of ballistic and guided missiles, as well as drones, against vital and strategic military targets in "Eilat" and Al-Naqab desert.

Yemen has launched several attacks against the Israeli occupation, with the first attack being intercepted by the US and Saudi Arabia, and raising the concerns of some neighboring Arab states, as others made their way to occupied Palestine, striking Israeli military targets.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Yahya Saree said on Wednesday that the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a large batch of loitering munitions, i.e., kamikaze drones, toward several Israeli targets deep in occupied Palestine.

Sanaa underlined that the Yemeni Armed Forces will "continue to carry out military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the calls and demands of the Yemeni people and all the people of the Ummah until the Israeli aggression on our brothers in the resilient Gaza ceases."
