In Turkey, the city of Istanbul witnessed angry demonstrations, as demonstrators attacked American stores, in protest of the unlimited support for the Israeli occupation. They also threw fireworks at the Israeli consulate and showed their support for the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian Resistance with repetitive chants.
The demonstrations come in light of the ongoing aggression on Gaza. The Israeli occupation has now increased its bombardment on Gaza and cut off all sources of communication in several areas of the city. Hence, limiting medical work inside the long-threatened hospitals
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that October 27 witnessed the most violent strikes on Gaza since October 7, confirming that attacks are being carried out through air, land, and sea. Our correspondent noted that Central Gaza is being targeted as well after attacks in the previous days were concentrated north of the Strip.
While Israeli warplanes were conducting air strikes, Palestinian Resistance forces unleashed a series of heavy and consecutive rocket launches, targeting the vicinity of "Tel Aviv," "Ashdod," "Ashkelon," and central occupied Palestine.
Operation Al-Aqsa Flood ignited a wave of solidarity, uniting voices from the Arab world and beyond. Millions continue to gather across Arab, Islamic, and Western nations, fiercely condemning the relentless Israeli aggression.
