Palestinians rallied in the blockaded Gaza Strip to express their solidarity with people in Al-Quds and the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces have stepped up their crackdown carrying out attacks across the occupied territories and the city of al-Quds in recent weeks.
This is while more than 130 Palestinians have been killed by regime forces in the West Bank this year alone amid an increase in armed resistance. Palestinian resistance factions have expressed their unwavering support for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds.
While Israeli forces increased their attacks in the occupied West Bank, extremist Jewish settlers have been violating the sanctity of the al-Aqsa mosque compound in al-Quds under the silent watchful eye of the international community.
During the rally, Palestinian resistance groups warned the Israeli regime against violations in al-Quds and in the occupied West Bank while asserting that armed resistance is the key to freedom.
Palestinians say they want the occupied West Bank to be part of a future independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital. People here vow to utilize all forms of resistance to defend al-Quds against Israeli aggression.
