Bahraini police clash with protesters rallying in support of Gaza, Lebanon
Bahraini security forces have fired tear gas to disperse protests held in solidarity with the people of Gaza and Lebanon, amid an ongoing Israeli onslaught, there.
The protesters rallied after Friday prayers in a village in northwestern Bahrain.
They chanted anti-Israeli slogans in support of the Palestinians and the Lebanese.
The protesters also chanted: “We are at your service, oh Nasrallah!”
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred on Friday after the Israeli regime bombarded a Beirut suburb using US-provided weapons and munitions.
The assassination came as part of the regime’s escalation against Hezbollah. Hundreds of people have been killed across Lebanon since last Monday.
Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday evening, Iran responded to the Israeli assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Nasrallah, and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) general Abbas Nilforoushan by launching as many as 200 ballistic missiles toward the Zionist regime’s military and intelligence bases all over the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Bahraini demonstrators wore traditional Palestinian headdresses and held Palestinian flags in a show of support for Palestinians against Israel.
Other regional countries, including Jordan, have also witnessed anti-Israeli protests since the regime began its latest episode of genocide in Gaza almost a year ago.
The regime’s recent spate of deadly attacks on Lebanon has led to a wave of fresh protests.
Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, including one with a hypersonic ballistic missile, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed nearly 41,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Nasrallah was elected Secretary General of Hezbollah in 1992 at the age of 32 after an Israeli helicopter gunship assassinated his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi.
