ALBAWABA - Croatians rallied on Wednesday in the capital Zagreb carrying Palestinian flags to show support amid the Israel-Gaza war, Anadolu Agency reported.

Hundreds of people staged the rally holding slogans including "Free Palestine and Save Palestine" while waving both Palestine and Serbian flags.

Protesters have called for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks in Gaza, which killed over 6546 people including 2704 children.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza added that over 17439 were reported injured in the Israeli attacks since Oct. 7th when the Hamas military group announced the Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel.

Over 1,400 others were killed in Israel.

Protests have taken center stage in various countries across the world including the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as Turkey, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon.

Hamas operation against Israel

Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel, the biggest offensive in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.

In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
