The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 1,799 people have been killed, including 533 children, as a direct result of "Israel's" targeting of civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Health authorities also said that 9 martyrs and 130 injuries were reported on Friday in the occupied West Bank as a result of ongoing confrontations between Palestinians from one side and illegal settlers and occupation forces from another.

Since the launching of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Saturday, 44 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers in the West Bank.

Confrontations in the West Bank erupted on Friday as a result of wide-scale demonstrations in support of Gaza in which nearly 1800 people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and bombardment.

Massive marches took place all over the occupied West Bank where participants raised slogans and chanted in support of Gaza, urging escalation against the IOF's crimes in the Strip.

Israeli occupation forces increased their presence and restricted movement in the West Bank which has been illegally occupied by "Israel" since 1967.

Israeli Channel 12 has reported that Israeli occupation forces are on high alert due to the escalating armed operations against their presence in the West Bank.

The West Bank responds to Gaza's calls

Palestinians in the West Bank have come out in great numbers in support of Gazans who have faced a strict siege and continued bombing, targeting residential areas, journalists, and civilians.

Calls for participation in marches and rallies on Friday have been answered not just in the West Bank, but all over the Arab World.

Hundreds of thousands of people in countries like Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, and various Arab and Islamic nations have held protests to denounce the Israeli occupation aggression on Gaza and express solidarity with al-Aqsa.

Tehran, the capital of Iran, saw a significant turnout in these demonstrations, which were organized by Palestinian Resistance groups. A notable aspect of the protests in Tehran was the participation of the Iranian mobilization forces, who appeared in their military attire to express support for Palestine.

In addition to the rallies, numerous cities in Jordan saw protests on the day dubbed "Friday of Al-Aqsa Flood." Mass crowds headed to the border with occupied Palestine to express their condemnation of the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the renewed attempts to displace the remaining residents.

Jordanian security forces increased their efforts to control the demonstrators. Video footage was circulated online, depicting protesters getting out of their vehicles due to traffic congestion and proceeding on foot.

Likewise, Yemen saw significant gatherings expressing solidarity with Palestine and its Resistance against the occupation's crimes. A statement issued by the organizers indicated that the Yemeni people are fully prepared to actively participate and are willing to dispatch hundreds of thousands of fighters to defend Palestine. People also took to the streets in Russia and Pakistan in support of the Palestinian people.
