Mass rallies in Al-Dhale' affirm solidarity with Gaza & rejection of treacherous deals
Dhale' – Saba: Massive rallies were held on Friday across the districts of Damt, Al-Hasha, Qa'atabah, and Juban in Al-Dhale' province under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine... Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals.' Participants in the marches—led in Damt by the Acting Governor Abdul Latif Al-Shaghadri and Mobilization Official Ahmed Al-Murani—chanted slogans of mobilization and readiness to confront the forces of tyranny. They also raised powerful chants condemning the genocidal crimes, starvation tactics, and siege imposed by the American-Zionist enemy on their brothers in Gaza, amid disgraceful Arab, Islamic, and global silence. The demonstrators reaffirmed their unwavering stance against the genocide and starvation of the people of Gaza, pledged continued support for the Palestinian people and their courageous resistance. They also strongly condemned the shameful Arab and Islamic silence in the face of the Zionist entity's crimes, including genocide, starvation, deprivation of food, medicine, and water. They expressed their full alignment with the revolutionary leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in all efforts aimed at reinforcing Yemen's principled position in defending the Palestinian cause. The demonstrators announced their full support for the fourth phase of escalation announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces. They reaffirmed their absolute trust in and mandate to Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, expressing full readiness to carry out any measures required to confront the Zionist-American enemy until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted—no matter the sacrifices. A statement issued at the rallies declared that the American- and Western-backed Zionist crimes in Gaza—particularly the deaths from starvation—have reached unprecedented levels, documented in sound and image. This, the statement said, places humanity under a dire test: a test of conscience for the world, of faith and humanity for the Islamic Ummah, and an even more critical test of humanity, faith, and Arab brotherhood for the Arab world. The statement emphasized that no one is exempt—neither peoples, regimes, parties, nor movements—regardless of time. The results of this test, it said, will be recorded by God in the Book of Deeds, remembered in the annals of history, judged by God in this life and the hereafter. It reiterated that the Yemeni people, both officially and popularly, militarily and civilly, remain firmly committed to their advanced position in support of Palestine and will not back down. Yemen refuses to be counted among the indifferent or disgraced, but rather seeks to be recorded—before God , humankind—as holding a faithful, humane, and fraternal position. The statement praised the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to activate the fourth escalation phase, describing it as an expression of the pain and rage felt in the hearts of the people. It urged the Mujahideen of the Armed Forces to carry out operations against any company belonging to inhumane states collaborating with the most heinous criminals of this era. It also saluted the continuation of the Palestinian resistance operations in Gaza despite the dire conditions, stating that those efforts—alongside the actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine initiative—are the only true sources of hope, after God, for changing the current reality in Gaza. The statement stressed that diplomatic niceties, hollow statements, and deceptive gestures lacking genuine action have never rescued the oppressed, fed the hungry, or quenched the thirsty. Even the smallest military efforts, it noted, when made sincerely, are accompanied by God's promise of victory and warning of humiliation and defeat for the aggressors. It also warned those who, driven by betrayal and subservience, seek to sow chaos and sedition in order to weaken Yemen's stance against the American and Israeli enemies and undermine support for the Palestinian people. Such actions, it said, aim to destroy the most honorable and noble stance Yemen holds for Gaza, Palestine, and Al-Aqsa. The statement declared that Yemen has sacrificed thousands of martyrs and endured immense suffering, pain, sieges, and military alliances for its stance in support of Palestine—and is ready to sacrifice even more. Those who believe they can reverse this legacy of pride and drag Yemen back into humiliation, betrayal, and submission are only hastening their own destruction and condemning themselves to the lowest depths of Hell. Finally, the statement affirmed that the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces are at the highest level of readiness to confront any conspiracy, aggression, or betrayal. It called on all—officials and citizens alike—to remain vigilant, mobilized, proactive, relying on God for strength and victory. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

Following the attacks, the Yemen-based militants also released video footage of their attacks that sank two Liberian‑flagged cargo vessels, putting up a visceral reminder of a growing security threat in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. Ships struck in separate but closely timed attacks The first vessel, the Magic Seas, a Liberian‑flagged, Greek‑managed bulk carrier, was attacked on July 6 in the southern Red Sea with small arms, rocket‑propelled grenades and explosive drone boats. The ship caught fire and sank after its crew abandoned it; all 19 crew members and three security guards were rescued unharmed. The Houthis promptly released a video showing explosions onboard the vessel and the ensuing sinking. Exclusive footage shows the targeting and sinking of the "MV Star Magic" in the Red Sea, after its owners violated the Yemeni Armed Forces' ban on ships heading to Israeli-occupied ports. — Yemen Military (@Yemeni_Military) July 8, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A few days later, the Liberian‑flagged Eternity C, also Greek‑operated, was struck on 7 July by sea drones and rocket‑propelled grenades, and again by uncrewed surface vessels the next day. It sank on July 8 after the crew abandoned ship. At least four crew members were killed, ten rescued, six are unaccounted for and may be held captive by the Houthis.

A European Union naval force confirmed that only six of the 25 crew on board were rescued . These two incidents represent the first confirmed sinkings by the Houthis since June 2024 and mark a renewed campaign targeting ships they claim are linked to Israel. The International community, including the UN's envoy, has expressed grave concern at the escalation and the potential for environmental harm. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Reuters analysed Houthi footage and noted that both vessels were Greek‑operated but Liberian‑flagged. Firstpost has not independently verified the footage. Commercial routes at risk amid Gaza war fallout The Houthi assaults are widely interpreted as a reaction to the Gaza conflict and Israeli strikes on Yemen. The group says it is acting in solidarity with Palestinians . Shipping in the strategic Red Sea and Bab al‑Mandeb corridor, responsible for about 12 percent of global trade, has already been under siege since November 2023. Over 100 vessels have been attacked in that time. The recent sinkings threaten to destabilise the fragile calm following earlier US‑led naval patrols and temporary ceasefires .

Hodeida sons rally in 235 marches in solidarity with Gaza & readiness against aggression
Hodeida – Saba: Hodeida province witnessed on Friday massive public marches across 235 squares in all districts, reaffirming steadfast support for the Palestinian people under the slogan: "Steadfastness with Gaza, Readiness, and Mobilization Against Aggression." The squares, led by Hodeida City's main square, were packed with crowds who flocked from the province's rural and urban areas in a grand public display of deep allegiance to the Palestinian cause. Governor Abdullah Atifi, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, and deputies Mohammed Halisi, Mohammed Al-Nahari, and Ali Al-Kabari spearheaded the marches. Participants, including deputies for the Eastern, Northern, and Southern Districts—Amer Mathna, Ghalib Hamza, and Mutahar Al-Hadi—chanted slogans condemning the crimes of the Zionist entity and calling on the Islamic nation in all its spectrums to mobilize for jihad and support the oppressed Palestinian blood. They emphasized Muslim unity, holding fast to God's rope, standing as one against tyranny and arrogance in defense of Gaza, Palestine, and all occupied Islamic lands. The marches renewed strong condemnation of Israel's ongoing brutal massacres, genocide, and starvation crimes against civilians in Gaza amid suspicious international silence and blatant complicity. Participants held nations and peoples of the Islamic world—especially those near Palestine—accountable before God and history for Gaza's suffocating siege and deliberate starvation, stressing that delivering food, water, and medicine to the blockaded strip is an urgent religious and humanitarian duty. The people of Hodeida, guardian of the Red Sea, deemed normalization with the Zionist enemy a major crime, reversible only by severing all political, economic, media, and cultural ties with the usurping entity. They called on Arab and Muslim peoples to fulfill their duties in jihad and sacrifice—with lives or wealth—to support Gaza, liberate Al-Aqsa, and confront the American-Zionist colonial project. They expressed pride in the Yemeni Armed Forces' qualitative operations deep in enemy territory in support of Palestinian resistance, renewing their pledge to God and the Revolution Leader to continue mobilization , readiness for the promised battle of liberation and sacred jihad. A statement issued by the mass marches denounced the criminal Zionist enemy—with full American and Western involvement—for committing the most heinous genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and all of Palestine for 21 months, amid global silence and in full view of hundreds of millions of Arabs, Muslims, and people worldwide. It highlighted ongoing Zionist violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque and holy sites, arrogantly imposing total domination over the region's peoples. The statement affirmed the continuation of weekly million-man marches in response to God, steadfastly supporting the oppressed Palestinian people with full readiness against any aggression, relying on God's promise and victory. The statement condemned the silence of most Arab and Islamic regimes toward the major massacres and genocide by the Zionist and American enemies against Gaza's people, rejecting global complicity and deceptive rhetoric lacking real action, which emboldens the enemy. This shameful silence, it warned, threatens the nation's present and future in this life and the hereafter. It reaffirmed that the Yemeni people, under their wise leadership and Quranic project, rooted in faith, will never retreat from their unwavering stance supporting Gaza and Palestine, undeterred by Zionist and American threats, and ready for any escalation, trusting in God's victory. Yemen's culture, the statement stressed, is built on patience, jihad, and steadfastness, with no room for retreat or concession. Readiness and response to God are its constants, with firm belief that outcomes belong to God alone. It praised the legendary heroism of Palestinian men and women in Gaza and the West Bank, whose resilience despite immense sacrifices remains a source of pride and inspiration, proving that limited resources never justify surrender. Despite harsh conditions, Gaza's people refused to yield, writing epic tales of steadfastness that defied the enemy's might. The statement called on Arabs and Muslims—peoples and regimes—to boycott Israeli and American products that support the criminal Zionist entity, as boycott is an effective, accessible weapon and the least stance against Gaza's atrocities.
