Tens of thousands of Yemenis gathered in several cities to hear their leaders condemn US and British strikes on their country in response to attacks by Houthi militants on Red Sea shipping to protest against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, Reuters reports.
The US and Britain carried out dozens of air strikes on Houthi military targets overnight, widening a regional conflict stemming from Israel’s onslaught in Gaza.
“Your strikes on Yemen are terrorism,” said Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, referring to the United States.
“The United States is the Devil.”
