After the Israeli army’s withdrawal from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip following a 4-month presence, extensive destruction was documented in the city. This withdrawal came after 185 days of ongoing attacks by Israel on Gaza. The aftermath revealed severe damage to buildings including mosques, hospitals, and schools, alongside significant infrastructural destruction such as destroyed roads. Hospitals like Nasser and El-Emel were targeted, resulting in damage to ambulances and medical equipment. Residents, who had fled due to the attacks, returned to search for belongings amidst the rubble of their homes. Palestinian authorities noted that while Israeli forces had withdrawn from the western part of Khan Younis, they maintained a presence in the eastern area.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets after Friday prayers to protest Israel’s recent attacks on the country. The largest gatherings occurred in the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators marched following prayers at Tehran University.
High-ranking officials, including Iran’s Constitutional Court head Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei and former IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, joined the protest. Participants waved Iranian, Palestinian, and resistance group flags, and trampled on Israeli and US flags laid on the ground.
Protesters held banners reading “Down with Israel”, “Down with the US”, and “The Zionist regime will be destroyed”, while chanting slogans such as “We stand behind our leader”, “Everyone who clashed with Khamenei will eventually be destroyed”, and “Our right to nuclear weapons”.
