In a public display of solidarity, Jordanians took to the streets in Amman after Friday prayers to express support for Gaza's recent Palestinian resistance actions against the ground invasion carried out by the occupation forces in Gaza.
Thousands gathered in front of Al-Husseini Mosque, chanting anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans while backing Palestinian resistance groups. Similar rallies unfolded across Jordan, accompanied by marches and even a blood donation drive in Irbid.
Friday's post-prayer demonstrations denounced the U.S. for endorsing Israel's sustained attacks on Gaza since October 7. Protesters brandished placards bearing messages such as "Israel is a terrorist organization, not a state," "Towards the liberation of Palestine," and "The U.S. leads terrorism." The sentiments echoed in other Jordanian cities, with Irbid's event featuring a blood donation campaign to aid Gaza.
Funeral prayers in absentia resonated across Jordan's mosques, a poignant gesture for the Palestinians who lost their lives in the occupation's attacks.
Current Developments in the Occupation-Gaza Situation:
Responding to Israeli occupation's persistent violations against Palestinians, particularly at Al-Aqsa Mosque, the armed wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack on October 7. In retaliation, the Israeli occupation army unleashed intense air bombardments on the Gaza Strip.
Reports indicate that more than 1,200 Israelis, including over 310 soldiers, succumbed to the attacks, with 5,132 sustaining injuries. The Israeli occupation army reported 372 soldiers killed, with 51 in Gaza and 6 on the Lebanese border. Gaza's government claims over 11,500 casualties, including 4,710 children and 3,160 women.
Beyond Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem witnessed 200 Palestinian lives lost since October 7, a result of Israeli occupation forces and settler attacks. Hospitals in Gaza, home to tens of thousands of injured and civilians, faced forced evacuations as Israeli occupation strikes targeted their facilities. In some instances, hospital raids occurred during the occupation, leading to hundreds of casualties.
