The Israeli army later announced that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had launched “Operation Iron Swords” against Hamas’ Operation Aqsa Flood. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that more than 2,200 rockets were fired into Israeli territory as of 06.30 local time, and Hamas attempted infiltration by air, sea, and land.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who made a statement after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against the terrorism of the occupying forces.”

Israel’s National Emergency Service (MDA) announced that at least 22 people have died so far in the attacks launched by Hamas. It is feared that the death toll will increase.

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”.
