The Yemeni people yet again took to the streets to declare their support to the Palestinian people in multiple districts and governorates across the country. 

Protesters responded to the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement Sayyed Abdul al-Malik al-Houthi's call for protests, despite the US-UK airstrikes on Hodeidah that killed 16 people and injured another 30 earlier on Friday. 

Yemenis gathered in Saada, Marib, Raymah, 'Amran, Ibb, and Taaz, in support of the Palestinian people and Resistance, condemning the the continued Israeli genocide of Palestinians. 

Demonstrators also chanted in support of the Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) naval operations, which have blockaded the Israeli regime from the direction of the Red Sea.

Under the banner of "With Gaza... Escalation despite challenges," morning demonstrations filled more than 40 centers around Yemeni cities and towns.

The protests also mark the 33rd week of enduring Friday demonstrations calling for an escalation of the YAF's support to Palestine. These demonstrations are also a clear sign of the Yemeni people's defiance of US and Western pressure.

Earlier on Friday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the casualty toll from the recent US-UK aggression against the coastal province of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, west of Yemen, has surpassed 46 people, including 11 killed.

On his part, the Yemeni Ministry of Health spokesperson Anis al-Subhi told Al Mayadeen that the death toll is likely to rise due to the severity of injuries among the wounded.

US-UK airstrikes targeted several sites in multiple Yemeni provinces on Thursday night. The airstrikes included areas around the international airport in Sanaa, the al-Salif port, and the al-Hawak district south of Hodeidah city.

Our correspondent confirmed that the total number of US-British airstrikes reached 13, with three targeting the al-Nahdin area and a fourth hitting the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport. Additionally, the airstrike targeted the coastal area of Ghalifqa in the al-Durayhimi district, south of Hodeidah governorate. 

Despite the severity of the strikes, the Yemeni people and armed forces have not waivered in their support of Palestine, despite Western governments' best efforts to protect the Israeli regime from the backlash of its war crimes against Palestinians.
