Yemenis took to the streets on Friday morning in large pro-Palestine solidarity demonstrations across the provinces of Saada, Raymah, and Marib, as well as several districts in the provinces of Amran, Ibb, and Taiz.
These rallies were held in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance, under the banner of support for Gaza despite all the treachery.
The capital city of Sanaa, along with other Yemeni provinces, is also expected to witness massive rallies later today. It is expected that over 200 demonstrations will take place in Yemen as the Yemeni people seek to express solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The Committee for the Defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque has designated al-Sabeen Square in Sanaa and more than 230 central and secondary gathering sites across 14 Yemeni provinces for these demonstrations.
The provinces include Ibb, Dhamar, Amran, Saada, al-Bayda, Taiz, Hodeidah, Hajjah, al-Mahwit, al-Jawf, Marib, Raymah, Lahij, and al-Dhale.
The Yemeni people have continued their weekly mass demonstrations, despite repeat US-British airstrikes aimed at disrupting Yemeni military activity against the Israeli occupation.
Yemen drone strikes Tel Aviv
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Friday a successful drone strike targeting a significant site in Tel Aviv, occupied Palestine, in continuation of their operations in support of Gaza.
The operation in question was conducted by the newly developed Yafa drone, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree declared early Friday. The drone is named after the Palestinian city occupied by "Israel" as part of greater Tel Aviv.
The UAV is designed with the specific aim of evading enemy radar and interception systems, Saree said. The drone reached its target and achieved its operational objectives.
A new video emerged on social media showing the moment the drone struck in Tel Aviv.

The statement emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces now consider the area of Tel Aviv to be a strike zone and a primary target for future operations.
Saree declared the YAF's intent to continue focusing on strategic strikes against the Israeli occupation's internal front, aiming to reach deep within its territory.
Additionally, the spokesperson revealed that the Yemeni Armed Forces have in their possession a target bank with occupied Palestine, including sensitive military and security sites.
Saree vowed that the YAF would continue their operations against these targets in retaliation for the occupation's daily crimes and massacres against Palestinians in Gaza.
The statement further affirmed the YAF's commitment to supporting the heroic Resistance of Gaza, who are defending the Arab and Islamic world, asserting that the YAF's operations would persist until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege on the Palestinian people there is lifted.
