ISTANBUL, (PIC)--

Thousands of Turkish people participated in a massive march in Istanbul city on Friday in protest at the Zionist attacks on the Islamic holy sites in Palestine.

Participating speakers urged all Muslim countries to move to defend Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and highlighted that the Turkish people will never forsake the children and women of the holy city and let them alone in the face of the Israeli occupation.

The protesters waved flags of Palestine and its resistance factions as well as banners wishing death to Israel and burnt the Israeli flag.

For their part, the Palestinian refugees in Iraq organized a rally outside Al-Quds mosque in Baghdad to protest against the Israeli campaign of Judaization in Jerusalem.

Preacher of the mosque Shaikh Fadl Abu Lu’ay urged the worshipers to support the people of Jerusalem spiritually and declare their rejection of what is happening in the holy city in order to raise their spirits and make them feel they are not alone.
