Speaking to Al Resalah newspaper, Sheikh Salah said: "Like all previous plans aimed at controlling it, plans of the Israeli occupation to take over Bab al Rahma Mosque will never be materialised."

Yemen’s Ambassador in Damascus Abdullah Ali Sabri expressed in a statement his country’s full solidarity with Syria in face of the repeated Israeli aggressions on its lands, stressing that this aggression is a violation of the states’ sovereignty and a clear breach of international laws and norms.
