- Story Text:Hundreds of students from Sanaa university participated on Wednesday (December 4) in a parade on campus, marking their graduation from a military training course organised by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement.
Students held portraits of late Iran's Quds Force Qassem Soleimani, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh; and marched stepping on American, British and Israeli flags.
"These preparations are the least we can offer to our brothers of the Palestinian people, and are part of the readiness to confront the Zionist enemy," Wahib al-Amri, Sanaa University media officer, said.
Protesters, predominantly Houthi supporters, hold weekly protests in Sanaa in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Yemen's Houthis have fired missiles and drones at Israel repeatedly in what they say is action in solidarity with the Palestinians since the Gaza war began in 2023.
