VARIOUS DRONE SHOTS OF PROTEST AT SEBIN SQUARE WITH YEMENI PEOPLE CHANTING SLOGANS, HOLDING PLACARDS SCRIPT In the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, which is under the Houthi group's control, tens of thousands joined a rally in support of Palestinians, marking International Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day on Friday, Mar. 28. International Al-Quds Day, proposed by Iran’s former supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini after the 1979 revolution, is held each year on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. Other rallies took place in the Yemeni cities of Al-Hudaydah, western Yemen, Saada in the north, and the southwestern city of Dhale. The Yemeni territories under the Houthi group's control have been experiencing devastating US raids since March 15 for the group's position to block entry of Israeli ships in the Red Sea in response to the Israeli resumption of its war on Gaza. The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on Gaza on March 18, killing nearly 900 people, injuring nearly 2,000 others, and shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. More than 50,200 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 114,000 injured in a brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 2023. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
