Ibb: The Ibb governorate on Friday demonstrated its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, as 290 massive public marches took place under the banner, "With Gaza: Jihad and Steadfastness-A Cry of Rage for Spilled Blood and Violated Sanctuaries." In the central march in Ibb city, participants, including members of parliament, local officials, and the president of Ibb University, condemned the ongoing genocide, starvation, and blockade against Gaza's population.
According to Yemen News Agency, the participants affirmed that recent cowardly Israeli enemy airstrikes on civilian sites in Yemen would not undermine the country's unity or its pro-Gaza stance. Throughout the northern and western districts, thousands rallied to denounce the suffering of women and children in Gaza, who are facing starvation and a lack of basic necessities.
Marchers declared their readiness to confront any Zionist-American escalation and to continue supporting their Palestinian brethren until an independent state is established. They warned Israel that Yemeni deterrence operations in the Red Sea and regional waters will continue and expand until the aggression is stopped and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
A statement issued by the marches praised the Yemeni armed forces' qualitative development in producing new fission warheads, which it said have driven the Zionists mad. The statement also warned that the Yemeni people are closely monitoring public plans to target and demolish al-Aqsa Mosque. It called on Arab and Muslim nations to take serious steps to counter this plot, reaffirming Yemen's commitment to defending holy sites with all its might.
The statement also condemned the burning of a copy of the Holy Qur'an by a pro-Zionist American figure, viewing the act as a provocation against more than two billion Muslims. It called on the world to recognize the Qur'an and the Prophet as the path to salvation from the tyranny represented by Zionism.
The statement concluded by asserting that any aggression or escalation against Yemen will not shake its religious identity, principles, or values, which have been practically demonstrated through its support for Gaza.
