Yemeni rallies reaffirmed the Yemeni people's solidarity with Gaza, more than a year and a half since the beginning of the war on the Strip, which has killed over 58,000 Palestinians.
In a statement on Friday, the Yemenis vowed that they would confront all enemy schemes, emphasizing the people's unwavering "official and popular solidarity with Gaza and all of Palestine in the face of the crimes committed by the Zionist enemy entity."
The statement also addressed the Israeli aggression against Syria, condemning it and rejecting the "logic of violation," while emphasizing solidarity with the Syrian people in confronting Israeli attacks and calling on all segments of Syrian society to "be vigilant against the schemes of the Israeli enemy, which seeks to destroy everyone."
Weekly rallies ongoing
Mass rallies in support of Palestine were held on Friday across the Yemeni provinces of Saada, Raymah, and Maarib under the slogan "We Continue to Stand With Gaza and Confront Zionist Violations Against the Ummah." Protesters raised banners reaffirming Yemen's unwavering stance in solidarity with Palestine amid "Israel's" ongoing war on Gaza.
Yemen's Ansar Allah has been an adamant supporter of Gaza throughout the Israeli genocidal war waged on the Strip since October 7, launching regular attacks targeting the occupied territories.
On July 16, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced four new military operations against Israeli targets, including a direct strike using a Zulfiqar ballistic missile on the occupied al-Lodd airport, referred to by the Israeli occupation as Ben Gurion Airport, according to a statement by military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree.
Saree explained in the statement that the forces conducted three other operations targeting the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), a military site in the Naqab region, and Lydd Airport, employing four drones in these strikes.
On July 15, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed that their forces had successfully targeted a key Israeli military site in the occupied al-Naqab region via drone strikes.
