Sana'a: The Yemeni capital witnessed on Friday a massive rally under the slogan: 'With Gaza, Jihad and Steadfastness. In Anger Over the Spilled Blood and Violated Sanctities,' in defiance of the Zionist enemy, in defense of the Qur'an and Islam, and in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people.
According to Yemen News Agency, the huge crowds condemned and expressed outrage over the burning of a copy of the Holy Qur'an in the United States by an American extremist supportive of Israel, describing it as a blatant violation and provocation to Muslims worldwide. They warned that continued attacks on Islamic sanctities constitute an open war against the Muslim nation.
The masses reaffirmed that the Zionist aggression on Yemen, targeting service facilities and civilians, will only strengthen the Yemeni people's resolve and their principled stance in supporting the Palestinian cause until the aggression stops and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.
The demonstrators raised Yemeni and Palestinian flags and banners celebrating the upcoming anniversary of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), affirming their love, loyalty, and commitment to following his path.
They also declared readiness to confront the Zionist enemy and pledged continued support for Gaza and the Palestinian resistance with determination, engaging in what they described as the 'promised victory and sacred jihad' until liberation is achieved.
The crowds hailed the Yemeni Armed Forces for their successful precision operations deep inside Israeli territory, highlighting the growing missile capabilities that have caused panic among Zionists.
As Yemenis prepare to celebrate the Prophet's birthday, the participants stressed their adherence to the Prophet's path and struggle against the enemies of Islam, in defense of the oppressed in Gaza and the sanctities of the Muslim nation.
The rally called on Arab and Islamic nations to boycott American and Israeli goods as a minimum response to the genocide and starvation inflicted on Gaza, and to take strong positions against the repeated violations of Islamic sanctities.
Participants chanted slogans of jihad and resistance, declaring their anger over attacks on the Qur'an and pledging continued strikes against Israel.
A statement delivered by Sheikh Fuad Naji, a member of the Association of Yemeni Scholars, affirmed that the massive marches were held in obedience to God, in defense of Islam, the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The statement stressed Yemen's unwavering and principled stance with Gaza through all challenges, supporting and escalating efforts until victory is granted by God. It warned that any aggression by Israel or the United States will not force Yemenis to abandon their faith, identity, or principles.
The statement praised the military achievements of the Yemeni Armed Forces, particularly the development of cluster warheads that have shocked Israel since their first use, and prayed for greater strength and victories.
It further warned against the ongoing Zionist schemes to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of plans to establish 'Greater Israel' on the ruins of Islamic sanctities.
The statement urged Arab and Islamic nations to prepare for decisive action to confront such crimes, affirming that Yemen will continue its jihad and readiness to defend its sanctities, people, and nation with all available means, relying on God Almighty.
The statement strongly condemned the desecration of the Holy Qur'an in the United States, describing it as further proof of the malice of Zionists and their American allies, who revere no sanctity except Zionism while criminalizing any criticism of Israeli crimes.
Finally, the statement called on Muslims and all free people of the world, especially with the approach of the Prophet's birthday, to return to the Qur'an for guidance and to learn anew about the life and message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), emphasizing that the Zionist attacks on the Qur'an and the Prophet are driven by fear of the light and salvation they bring to humanity.
