<\/a>Tens of thousands of people have gathered around the world for al-Quds Day, an annual event on the final Friday of Ramadan demonstrating solidarity with Palestine and opposition to Israeli occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rallies took place across numerous countries, including Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kashmir and Yemen. In Tehran, thousands marched, chanting \u201cdeath to Israel\u201d and \u201cdeath to America\u201d as the United States-Israeli military campaign entered its 14th day of conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event has long been associated with Iran, and was established by the country\u2019s first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s observance coincided with the US-Israel attack on Iran that has killed at least 1,444 people, including the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowds turned out in Tehran and other cities, despite ongoing US and Israeli strikes in the region during the commemoration, state media reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrators worldwide expressed solidarity with both Palestinians and Iranians. In Kashmir, protesters burned mock coffins bearing images of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while shouting slogans against the United States and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in 40 years, the United Kingdom banned London\u2019s al-Quds Day march, citing risks of public disorder related to the \u201cvolatile situation in the Middle East\u201d and potential confrontations between opposing groups. This marks the first protest ban since 2012, when authorities prohibited marches by the far-right English Defence League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Iran\u2019s Health Ministry, another 18,551 people have been injured in US-Israeli attacks on Iran since February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
