The massive rally took place along the main street and was attended by several members of the Shura Council, provincial deputies, and military staff of the Fourth Military Region. Directors of executive offices, districts, along with military and security leaders, were also present.
The central squares in Al-Ta’iziyah district were packed with crowds, especially in Al-Arbaeen Street leading to Al-Ramada Al-Hashimah, the district center, and the northern square near Nakhlah Bridge in Shar’ab Al-Salam district. The centers of Shar’ab Ar-Rawnah, Hayfan, Al-Mawasit, Al-Thaawur, Al-Zubayrah, Al-Khuzajeh, and Jabalah in Maawiyah district were also filled with people. Additionally, the residential city in Al-Barh in Al-Arf saw large gatherings. All these rallies were held under the slogan “Support for Al-Aqsa and Gaza… The Support Continues, and Retaliation is Coming.”
Participants in the rallies condemned the continued criminal acts of the Israeli enemy in Gaza and the occupied territories amidst the silence and betrayal of the Arab, Islamic, and international communities. They stressed that retaliation against the Israeli enemy for its aggression and crimes in Palestine and Yemen is inevitable.
They pointed out that up to the 11th consecutive month, the Zionist enemy continues committing crimes of the century, committing genocide with the support of the United States and Europe, in the light of the conspiracy and abandonment of Arab and Islamic nations. The rally reaffirmed the readiness and preparedness of the people of Taiz, within the framework of their religious duty, to defend Islamic sanctities and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The rallies in the district squares were attended by several provincial deputies, directors of executive offices, districts, military and security leaders, tribal leaders, and social figures.
A statement issued by the rallies condemned the violations committed by the Zionist enemy, particularly the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in a dangerous escalation, which is seen as testing the feelings of Muslims around the world. The statement denounced the weak stances and feeble statements that neither uphold the truth nor abolish falsehood nor protect the sanctities.
The statement hailed the historic resilience of the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters in the face of the Zionist murderers, praising their examples of steadfastness, sacrifice, and perseverance in thwarting the enemy’s plans and crushing their hopes and dreams.
The statement also praised the remarkable operation by the Al-Qassam Brigades, with two rockets which targeted “Yafa” the heart of the Zionist entity with two rockets after more than ten months of Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, sending a clear message that the Palestinian resistance is still capable of defeating and humiliating the enemy.
Addressing the Arab and Islamic nations, the statement expressed deep sorrow over the scenes of brutal genocide in Gaza and the continuous violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It called on the Arab and Islamic people and all free people around the world to rise and make their voices heard by the criminal enemy, rejecting the heinous crimes and renouncing the positions of their cowardly regimes.
The statement affirmed that the Yemeni people will not falter or hesitate, nor will they abandon the squares or cease their support for Palestine. The strikes will continue, and retaliation is inevitable, with victory only from Allah.
The statement also welcomed the formation of the Government of Change and Reconstruction as a significant first step in the first phase of radical change, wishing the government members success in all their tasks and responsibilities during this challenging, sensitive, and exceptional period that requires concerted efforts and cooperation from everyone.
Furthermore, the statement reaffirmed full support and absolute endorsement for all measures and steps taken by the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council on the path of radical change.
