Thousands rally in front of US Embassy in Jakarta as part of Global Day of Action for Gaza
Thousands of members from the Muslim community gathered in front of the US Embassy in Jakarta on Saturday to protest against ‘genocide’ in Palestine and express their support for the Palestinian people, marking a Global Day of Action for Gaza.
Footage shows protesters holding Palestinian flags and placards reading ‘Ceasefire’ and ‘From the river to the sea Palestine will be free’ as well as listening to the speech of locals.
The protest was held one day before the commemoration of the 100th day since the Israeli regime launched its devastating hostilities in the Gaza Strip after the territory’s Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Israel declared war on the group and made a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. Since the start of the aggression, Israel has killed more than 23,843 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Nearly 60,317 Palestinians have also been wounded, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
