Syria: Massive Demonstrations Condemn the Genocide and Siege in
Gaza and Denounce Targeting of Journalists
On
Monday, several Syrian provinces witnessed massive popular demonstrations
condemning the ongoing genocidal war waged by the Zionist occupation against
the Gaza Strip and its deliberate targeting of Palestinian journalists.
The
events took place in the capital, Damascus, and the provinces of Hama, Homs,
Aleppo, and Idlib, where participants raised Palestinian flags and chanted
slogans opposing the occupation. They carried banners bearing slogans such as
"Freedom for Gaza" and "Palestine Is Not Alone."
The
demonstrators called on the international community to take urgent action to
stop the aggression and the siege imposed on Gaza, affirming their full
solidarity with the Palestinian people.
In
Damascus, journalists organized a protest stand wearing protective vests to
denounce the killing of their colleagues in Gaza and to commemorate journalists
who were martyred as a result of the Zionist occupation’s shelling of their
tent near Al-Shifa Hospital on Sunday evening.
A
similar demonstration took place in the city of Idlib, where journalists and
activists participated, expressing their rejection of the targeting of
Palestinian media personnel.
The
Zionist occupation had committed a new massacre on Sunday evening, which
resulted in the martyrdom of six journalists, including four from Qatar’s Al
Jazeera channel: reporters Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qureiqa, cameramen
Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Alawiya, in addition to their assistant Mohammed
Nawfal, and Mohammed Al-Khalidi, who died on Monday morning due to his
injuries.
Since
October 7, 2023, the Zionist occupation, with American support, has been
committing a genocide against the people of Gaza, involving killing, starving,
destruction, and displacement, in disregard of international appeals and orders
from the International Court of Justice to halt these actions.
According
to statistics, these crimes have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 61,000
Palestinians and injuries to over 153,000, alongside more than 9,000 missing
persons, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced and famine that has
claimed many lives, including dozens of children.
