  • Story Text: Crowds in Sanaa chanted anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans on Friday (March 28) to mark al-Quds Day and to express support for Palestinians in Gaza.
    A controversial American activist Jackson Hinkle, who has been widely reported by a number of media outlets for spreading false information on social media, attended the rally. Wearing a keffiyeh, an emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, at the rally Hinkle said he had travelled to Sanaa, "to build peace between the American people and the Yemeni people."
    Similar demonstrations were held in Iraq, with Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) members and Iraqi citizens also joining in a protest supporting Gazans.
    The U.S. military has ramped up airstrikes against the Houthis since March 15 in response to Houthi attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
    Despite a recently leaked conversation between top U.S. intelligence and defence officials held over the chat app Signal, in which a journalist was “accidentally” added to, the U.S. military has so far declined to publicly offer even basic details about the offensive in Yemen, including how many strikes have been carried out, what senior leaders have been targeted or killed and even whether the operation has a name.
