The Israeli army launched an attack on the east of Rafah city in the Gaza Strip, following an evacuation order for 100 thousand people in that area. The operation was described as targeted and aimed to exert military pressure on Hamas, secure the release of hostages, and advance other strategic objectives. The decision for the operation was taken unanimously by the Israeli War Cabinet, with plans to negotiate terms acceptable to Israel through delegations and mediators.
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”.
