Demonstrators took to the streets in cities all over the Arab and Islamic worlds, in a show of support for Palestine and its Resistance on Friday.

Multiple provinces in Iran, including the Samnan province in northern Iran, witnessed mass protests in support of Gaza. Interestingly, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said protests in Samnan have been occurring on a near-daily basis, where Semnanians chant in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

In Yemen, where thousands go out in massive protests in several cities each Friday, Yemenis showed their support for Palestine in a march under the following slogan: "We will continue to support Gaza and are ready for all options."

Yemen's Saada demonstrations reiterated, on Friday, continued support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' efforts in supporting the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

The concluding statement of the demonstrations commended persistence in these actions, standing by "our people in Palestine until the Israeli aggression against Gaza ceases."

The Yemeni governorates of Sanaa, Hajjah, al-Bayda, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit also witnessed mass demonstrations following Friday prayers today, pledging, "We will continue to support Gaza and are ready for all options."

In the city of Saida, South Lebanon, a mass rally in support of Palestine was organized by the Association of Muslim Scholars and the Organization of Muslim Scholars in the city.

The Jordanian capital, Amman, also saw a rally near the US embassy under the title “America is the head of the aggression.”

In the courtyard of Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Mosque in Doha, a demonstration was organized in support of Palestine and against the massacres the Israeli occupation is committing in Gaza.

Yesterday, activists were blockading and protesting outside weapons manufacturers and suppliers to "Israel" across Europe.

These include Exxelia (Paris, France), TERMA Group (Aarhus and Copenhagen, Denmark; Leiden, The Netherlands), and UAV Engines (Shenstone, UK).

A military component manufactured by Exxelia enabled Israeli forces to precisely guide a missile to strike the roof of the Shuheibar family home on July 17, 2014, killing three children and seriously injuring two further children, according to the Workers in Palestine group.

The group added that gun pods manufactured by TERMA Group enable the occupation to mount excessive amounts of explosives to the otherwise small and agile F-35s, citing a report in the Danish media that 75 children were killed in Gaza in May 2021 and August 2022 by fighter jets carrying parts from TERMA Group.

Eaton Mission Systems in Bournemouth, BAE Systems at Samlesbury Aerodrome in Lancashire, L3Harris factory in Brighton and Hove, and BAE Govan in Glasgow are the four manufacturing facilities currently producing F-35 stealth combat aircraft utilized by "Israel" in its war on Gaza.

In recent protests in the UK, unionist demonstrators targeted the facilities in support of Palestine.

The group of trade unionists advocating for change consists of diverse professionals, such as health workers, teachers, hospitality workers, academics, and artists. Their collective demand is for the cessation of arms sales to "Israel", and they are urging the UK government to actively support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

The participating trade unions include Unite, UNISON, GMB, the NEU, the BMA, UCU, BECTU, and BFAWU.
