Yemenis have taken to the streets of the capital Sana’a and other cities to express solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid ongoing Israeli ground and airstrikes there.
On Friday, a large crowd gathered in al-Sabeen Square, a place for significant events and celebrations in Sana’a, for a protest dubbed the “million-man march.”
The participants waved Yemeni and Palestinian flags, and chanted slogans in support of Palestinians as they reaffirmed their support for Gazans who are subjected to Israel’s US-backed genocidal war, Press TV reported.
They also expressed backing for the Yemeni Armed Forces’ pro-Palestinian maritime operations against Israeli-affiliated merchant vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Similar demonstrations were held in other provinces, including ‘Amran, Dhamar, Hajjah, Ibb, Mahwit, Ma’rib, Raymah and Ta’izz.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
