45,000 rally for Gaza at Quds Eid prayers

Tens of thousands of Palestinians rallied in support of war-torn Gaza on Monday as they gathered to pray at Al Aqsa mosque at the start of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.

The Zionist police put the number of worshipers at 45,000 people, with an AFP correspondent saying many were dressed in black T-shirts emblazoned with slogans reading “Gaza, supporting you is our Eid” and “We are all Gaza.”

Others wore T-shirts proclaiming support for Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which has been locked in a 21-day confrontation with Israeli troops in Gaza.
