Thousands of Yemeni citizens pack Al-Sabeen Square in

their gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran ------ for
breaking the siege on Sanaa International Airport.
A huge crowd of Yemenis packed Al-Sabeen Square in the
capital on Friday evening in a mass rally expressing
profound gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran,
for breaking - the brutal 11-year siege on Sanaa
International Airport, as Yemeni air defenses
successfully intercepted Saudi warplanes
that --- attempted to block an Iranian
civilian flight... carrying over 200
sick and wounded passengers.
The rally, held in support of the Yemeni armed forces and their
recent declaration on breaking the siege, saw participants

and Palestine and their full readiness to implement
the directives of Ansarullah leader, Sayyed
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

The crowds expressed deep appreciation for Iran’s
humanitarian initiative, in facilitating the transfer
of patients, the wounded and stranded civilians,
reaffirming Islamic brotherhood --- within the
axis of jihad and resistance.
axis of jihad and resistance.
“Today, Yemen’s skies... witnessed two contrasting scenes,”
said Yemen’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulwahid Abu Ras.
“The first was a civilian aircraft carrying patients,
wounded people, humanitarian cases, and
official delegations. The second was
warplanes carrying bombs and
missiles to kill Yemenis and
destroy infrastructure”.
He added that the event demonstrated Yemen’s
“steadfastness, resilience, military capability,
and high combat readiness, marking the
beginning.... of a new phase of
reclaiming rights”.
Iranian flight defies Saudi interception
The rally came hours after Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman,
Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that at 5:20am on
Friday, a formation of Saudi coalition warplanes violated
Yemeni airspace in an attempt to prevent an Iranian
civilian aircraft...... from landing at Sanaa
International Airport.
The plane was carrying over 200 stranded,
wounded and sick Yemeni citizens.
Yemeni air defense forces fired “a number of air
defense missiles,” forcing the Saudi warplanes
to leave Yemeni airspace.
Saree warned Saudi Arabia against repeating any violation of
Yemeni airspace, threatening a “comprehensive response”
that would target Saudi airports and vital interests on
land and sea.
Saree declared that flights between Sanaa and Tehran “will
continue - regardless of any consequences - to break the
siege and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people”.
He stressed that Yemen’s armed forces - “will not accept
the continuation of the unjust Saudi‑American blockade
indefinitely” and that all units are fully prepared to
implement ------ any decision made by the
Ansarullah leadership.
Sanaa International Airport..... has been under a
crippling Saudi/US blockade for nearly 11 years.
The Iranian flight’s successful landing
marked a major breach of that siege.
Iran’s initiative also enabled the transport of official and
public delegations traveling to Tehran for the funeral
ceremonies of the martyred Leader of the Islamic
Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Palestinian resistance factions have affirmed their people's
"right to resist occupation in all forms" and rejected "any
foreign tutelage" over Palestinian affairs, as Gaza marks
1,000 days of Israeli genocide ---- that has killed
more than 73,000 Palestinians.
more than 73,000 Palestinians.
"One thousand days have passed since the beginning of the
Zionist genocide in Gaza, carried out with direct support
from the US administration and western governments,"
the joint statement by Palestinian factions said
on Thursday.
The factions declared that Israel has failed to achieve its
declared war objectives, including displacement and
uprooting, despite the massive destruction and
humanitarian catastrophe.
They stressed "the necessity of escalating resistance in
the West Bank, al-Quds, and all our occupied land" and
emphasized that Gaza's administration is a "purely
internal Palestinian matter."
The statement comes as Israel continues to violate the US-
backed ceasefire agreement that took effect in October.
According to the Gaza Government Media Office,
Israeli forces have committed hundreds of
violations since the truce began, killing
over 1,000 Palestinians and injuring
3,406 others.
On Wednesday alone ---- Israeli forces committed 17 new
ceasefire violations, resulting in four Palestinian deaths.
The Gaza Government Media Office released a comprehensive
statistical report -- marking the 1,000th day of the genocide,
revealing that 73,066 Palestinians --- have been confirmed
killed, including over 21,500 children and 12,500 women,
while 9,500 people remain missing, including those
under rubble ...or whose fate is unknown.
The report also stated that 173,514 Palestinians
have been wounded, with 5,400 amputations,
of which 18 percent ...are children.
It added that 2,700 families have been completely wiped out
and erased from the civil registry, while 6,020 families have
only one survivor remaining, and over 58,800 children....
have been orphaned.
Israel has destroyed approximately 90 percent of Gaza and now
occupies 80 percent of the strip, dropping over 223,000 tons of
explosives on the densely populated enclave. The war has
caused preliminary direct losses estimated at 80 billion
dollars, including 34 billion dollars in the housing
sector alone.
The media office reported - that more than 2.4 million people in
Gaza have been subjected to genocide, starvation, and ethnic
cleansing for 1,000 days. Over 350,000 families are in need
of shelter, with more than 132,000 tents damaged and
over 2 million Palestinians displaced.
The health sector has suffered devastating losses, with Israel
destroying - or forcing out of service - 38 hospitals and 96
healthcare centres. More than 22,000 patients require
treatment abroad but are prevented from traveling,
and over 1.1 million children receive only one
meal a day, described as --- a systematic
starvation policy.
Israel has completely destroyed 1,047 mosques, partially
damaged 210 others, targeted three churches, and killed
312 religious figures. Over 87% of agricultural land has
been destroyed ---- and annual vegetable and fruit
production has plummeted from 524,000 tons
to just 20,000 tons.
The resistance factions urged the technocratic administrative
committee to enter Gaza ......and begin carrying out its duties.
They called for a comprehensive national dialogue to rebuild
Palestinian institutions, including the Palestine Liberation
Organization, and stressed the need for stronger Arab
and Islamic pressure to secure a comprehensive
end to the genocide.
The factions praised the October 2023 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
as a "natural response" to Israel's crimes and decades-long
occupation of Palestine.
The ceasefire remains fragile, with Israel reportedly preparing
a new onslaught against the strip, citing alleged Hamas
recruitment and rearmament efforts. Israeli media
has acknowledged that the prolonged conflict
has failed to deliver a decisive victory.
The United Nations has warned that famine conditions have
worsened across Gaza, with over 1.1 million people facing
catastrophic food insecurity... as aid deliveries remain
severely restricted by Israel's continued blockade.
