Israel-Hezbollah War: Yemenis with guns gather to protest against Israel

    Israel-Hezbollah War: Yemenis with guns gather to protest against Israel

    Holding a major protest against Israel, Yemenis held a massive rally against Israel’s aggression in Sanaa on November 29. Protesters wielded weapons in their hands as they raised slogan against Israel. Protesters refuse to “retreat until the aggression against Gaza, Lebanon and Syria stops”. Yemenis held rally after claims of Israel violating ceasefire on November 28 in southern Lebanon. Angered by the violation from Israeli side, Gaza and Hezbollah supporters demonstrated their protest. Ceasefire between the two parties was mediated by the US and France on November 27. Fragility of the agreement is evident since then, as both parties accused each other of the violation. Notably, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said Israel would maintain an ability to strike southern Lebanon under any agreement. “Will respond forcefully to any violations”, Israeli PM Netanyahu reiterated the same.
