🇾🇪 Defiant Houthis stage massive rallies across Yemen following powerful Israeli airstrikes

Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis gathered in Houthi-governed areas across Yemen on Friday to denounce Israeli, US and British aggression against their country and express continued support for Gaza, with the rallies held one day after Thursday’s powerful Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa and Hodeidah province.

Rallies, taking place under the slogan “We are steadfast with Gaza…without a ceiling or red lines,” were held across dozens of locations in the Sanaa, Hodeidah, Dhamar, Taiz, Mahwit, Marib, Lahj, Dhalea, Ibb, Hajjah Ramyah and Al-Jawf provinces, with photos of the events showing placard and banner-carrying crowds stretching as far as the eye can see.

Rallygoers reiterated Yemen’s commitment to targeting Israel until the Gaza war ends and the siege is lifted. At some gatherings, fellow Arab and Islamic-majority countries were called on to take action to stop the Gaza “genocide.” At others, these same nations and the international community were slammed for their “silence” amid Israel’s operations in the West Bank, Jerusalem, Syria and Lebanon in service of the so-called “Greater Israel” project.

The escalation of Israeli attacks “will only increase the determination and resolve of the great Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people, in fulfillment of their religious, moral and humanitarian duty,” the Houthis said a statement Friday.
