Hundreds of Tunisians demonstrated outside the French Embassy in the nation’s capital of Tunis late Friday to condemn intensified Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.
According to an Anadolu reporter, protesters chanted slogans in support of the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless Israeli airstrikes since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.
The Israeli army on Friday widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip amid reports of clashes with Palestinian fighters near the Gaza border.
The conflict escalated dramatically after Hamas’ military wing carried out an unprecedented attack on Israel on Oct. 7 by firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of fighters into Israeli towns.
Israel responded with an uninterrupted campaign of air and artillery strikes on the Gaza Strip, and the government announced that it is preparing for a ground offensive to root out Hamas.
More than 8,700 people have been killed in the conflict, including at least 7,326 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis.
Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are grappling with shortages of food, water, and medicine due to Israel’s massive air bombardment and total blockade of the enclave.
