Hezbollah decries Israeli attacks against Palestinians in al-Quds

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has denounced Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Jerusalem al-Quds, expressing its solidarity with the victims.

In a statement on Friday, Hezbollah praised the Palestinian people who confronted the Israeli attacks on Palestinian worshipers in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.

The group also expressed its pride in “the heroic stance of the Palestinian faithfuls at the Damascus Gate and other areas in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.”

It strongly condemned the intensified Israeli military measures and the harassment by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians, which have been ongoing for several days and which have resulted in dozens of injuries and the arrest of a number of Palestinians.

Hezbollah expressed its “full solidarity with the honorable Palestinian people.”

On Thursday, Palestinians confronted attacks by Israeli settlers in Jerusalem al-Quds.

The clashes, which began on Thursday evening and continued until the early hours of Friday, left at least 105 Palestinians, including women and children, injured.

Israeli forces also arrested 50 Palestinians during the skirmishes.

Also on Friday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, calling on the international community to “take practical measures to compel Israel to immediately end its occupation and settlement, and to impose sanctions on it and hold its leaders accountable for their violations and crimes.”
