Iran Press/ Africa: The protestors on Friday evening marched through different streets of the city, dragging the Israeli flag on the ground and raising flags of Palestine.
In an exclusive interview with Iran Press, Muhammad Kabir, a demonstrator, said "Actually, we are out today just like our brothers and sisters across the globe to express our solidarity with the Palestinians, our Muslim brothers and sisters that are being attacked by the Israeli oppressive regime. So, we are just expressing our solidarity, and based on the teaching of Islam, you know, the ummah is one. And, based on humanity, irrespective of religion and other background, all the world should sympathize with the Palestinians who have been attacked 24/7 without committing any crime."
Another young protestor, Ahmad Ismail in an exclusive interview said: "This is something that concerned humanity. So, every human being that has something in his mind, would express his pity for the Muslim ummah in Gaza."
So, the reason why we came out in mass is to show our concerns. This is not only for something that has to do with religion. It is something that concerns humanity. As a human being, they (Palestinians) have been cheated. They have been oppressed for a long period of years. So, we hope this should be stopped.
On October 7, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm deep into the territories occupied by the Israeli regime in reaction to the recurring desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds, the 16-year-old blockade of Gaza as well as intensified Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The campaign killed at least 1,500 Israeli forces and settlers and injured more than 4,800 others.
Meanwhile, Israel conducted intensive air strikes on civilian targets in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 4,100 Palestinians in Gaza and wounding over 13,000 others.
