On 18 September, six of 33 watched channels carried portions of a statement issued by popular marches in Yemen defending Mecca against what it called a Saudi falsehood. Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official), Jehad Brothers Team (Nujaba — affiliated) and Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) carried its commitment to continue the battle against Saudi Arabia, support the Yemeni armed forces under “blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation,” and strike Saudi mobilizations. Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official), Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) and Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) selected passages defending Yemen’s Islamic identity or rejecting the allegation concerning Mecca without carrying that complete escalation formula.

The comparison distinguishes broad agreement with the Yemeni marches from amplification of their specific “escalation for escalation” and strike wording; the faction media did not give the statement equal treatment.
