Dhale': Massive public protests erupted across Dhale' governorate on Friday, following Eid al-Adha prayers, in fervent support of Gaza and the Palestinian people.
According to Yemen News Agency, the protests were led by acting governor Abdullatif al-Shaghdari, with participants chanting slogans condemning the Zionist entity's actions against civilians in Gaza. The protesters emphasized Yemen's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause, advocating for the liberation of all occupied territories and al-Aqsa Mosque.
