In a resounding show of solidarity, tens of thousands of individuals across several Muslim-majority countries have taken to the streets to support Palestinian resistance groups in the wake of attacks on Israeli settlements and towns. 

These clashes have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and left many more wounded.

The trigger for this surge in solidarity protests was Hamas’s bold raid on Israeli towns. 

Hamas cited Israel’s escalating attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons as the primary catalyst for their actions.

In response to the situation, Israel has launched a series of air strikes, resulting in the deaths of over 230 Palestinians.

Israeli authorities have issued urgent evacuation warnings to residents of Gaza.

Iraq: 

In the heart of Baghdad, Iraqis have marched in support of Palestinians, while also expressing their outrage by burning Israeli flags and posters of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iran: 

Iranians have congregated in Tehran, displaying Palestinian flags and images of the late Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, who was allegedly assassinated by Israel. Their message is one of unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.

Lebanon: 

In Beirut, Lebanese citizens have raised Palestinian flags and held placards bearing the message “resistance is the only way to liberate al Aqsa Mosque” as an expression of their solidarity with Palestinians.

Jordan: 

Jordanians have gathered near the Israeli embassy in the capital, Amman, brandishing Palestinian flags and placards, reiterating their unwavering support for the Palestinian struggle.
