TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement condemned the harassment by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians, and praised the Palestinian people who confronted the Israeli attacks on worshipers in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.

In a statement on Friday, the group also expressed its pride in “the heroic stance of the Palestinian faithful at the Damascus Gate and other areas in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.”

It strongly condemned the intensified Israeli military measures and the harassment by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians, which have been ongoing for several days and which have resulted in dozens of injuries and the arrest of a number of Palestinians.

Hezbollah expressed its “full solidarity with the honorable Palestinian people.”

On Thursday, Palestinians confronted attacks by Israeli settlers in Jerusalem al-Quds.

The clashes, which began on Thursday evening and continued until the early hours of Friday, left at least 105 Palestinians, including women and children, injured.

Israeli forces also arrested 50 Palestinians during the skirmishes.

Also on Friday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, calling on the international community to “take practical measures to compel Israel to immediately end its occupation and settlement, and to impose sanctions on it and hold its leaders accountable for their violations and crimes.”

Despite Israeli restrictions, thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayers at the al-Aqsa Mosque.

Some 60,000 Palestinian worshipers attended the prayers, while thousands of others were blocked by Israeli troops from reaching the site.

Earlier on Friday, the Palestinian resistance movement of Islamic Jihad urged Palestinians to defy the Israeli forces and head to al-Aqsa Mosque and protect it from Israeli settlers’ attacks.

In a statement, the movement praised the people of Jerusalem al-Quds who are defending al-Aqsa and the identity of al-Quds against Israeli plots.

It also called for demonstrations in support of al-Quds and its people.

Palestinians took part in several protests in the besieged Gaza Strip, including in the cities of Jabalia and Rafah, to express their solidarity with the people in Jerusalem al-Quds who have been subjected to intensified attacks by Israeli forces and settlers since the beginning of Ramadan.
