In capital Tehran, a huge number of people attended a rally to condemn the Israeli regime’s atrocities and express solidarity with the people of Gaza. Demonstrators converged on the University of Tehran, where the Friday prayers is held.
People in the rally chanted slogans “Down with Israel and Down with the US” and expressed their disgust at the Zionist regime which has been pounding Gaza relentlessly for a week.
At least 1,537 Palestinians have been killed and 6,612 wounded in the Israeli airstrikes.
Fear and confusion have gripped Gaza after the Israeli army told more than 1 million trapped Palestinians living in the north of besieged enclave to move south within 24 hours ahead of expected ground offensive.
The Israeli regime says it attacked 750 “military targets” overnight in the densely populated Gaza Strip, including 12 high-rise buildings.
