Yemeni Armed Forces to Start Phase 4 of Military Escalation in Support of Gaza

In a statement read by the spokesman General Yahya Sarea before a million-man rally held to voice solidarity with Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces affirmed the continuation of monitoring the developments of the battle in the Gaza Strip amidst the ongoing Israeli and American aggression and the preparation for carrying out a military operation targeting the Rafah area.

“We also monitor the proposal presented to the resistance, in which the enemy seeks to extract the issue of captives without a permanent ceasefire.”

First: Targeting all ships violating the “Israeli” maritime blockade heading towards the occupied Palestinian ports in the Mediterranean Sea in any area within our reach.

Second: Implementation of this begins from the time of the announcement of this statement.

Third: In the event that the “Israeli” enemy resorts to launching an aggressive military operation on Rafah, the Yemeni Armed Forces will impose comprehensive sanctions on all ships of companies involved in supply and entry to the occupied Palestinian ports of any nationality, and will prevent all ships of these companies from passing through the area of military operations regardless of their destination.

The Yemeni crowds chanted slogans which affirm support to the Palestinian cause against the US-Zionist enemies.

“God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam, At Your Service O’ Aqsa.”
