Mass protests against the occupation of Syria

The people of southern Syria have held large-scale demonstrations to protest the aggression of the Zionist regime and the illegal presence of its army in Syria.

Residents of the Quneitra region in southern Syria held a protest on Monday in front of the governorate building in the city of Al-Baath. As reported by  Al-Alam TV channel, the demonstration took place simultaneously with the arrival of a UN delegation to Syria to discuss the aggression of the Zionist regime. In addition to Quneitra, demonstrations were also held in a number of other cities and villages in Syria against the occupation of the Zionist regime and its aggressive policy. The demonstrators chanted "Israel, leave Syria" and demanded the complete withdrawal of the occupation forces from southern Syria. 

Al-Alam Network reports: "On Monday evening, the immaculate body of the martyred head of the Executive Council of Hezbollah in Lebanon was laid to rest in his birthplace after a glorious funeral that lasted several hours. Tens of thousands of Lebanese attended the ceremony. The funeral participants, chanting anti-Zionist slogans and shouting "We will never be humiliated," buried the martyr Safieddine in the mausoleum." 

In another report, the Committee for Prisoners and Liberators and the Palestinian Prisoners Club announced on Monday night that a Palestinian prisoner from the Gaza Strip was martyred in an Israeli prison. According to the report, the occupation forces arrested Masaab Hani Haniyeh on March 3, 2024, in the southern Gaza Strip. The committee added that according to information received from the Zionist regime army, this Palestinian prisoner was martyred on January 5, 2025, in one of the regime’s prisons.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the bodies of 7 Palestinian martyrs were transferred to hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. In addition, 6 wounded were also transferred to hospitals. Thus, the total number of Palestinian martyrs since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, 2023 has reached 48,346, and the number of wounded has reached 111,759. The Palestinian Information Center reported: "Many of the victims are under the rubble and on the streets, and rescuers and medical workers do not have access to them."

At a meeting of the Palestine Committee, the Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed al-Yamahi, stressed his firm opposition to any plan to expel the Palestinian people from their land. He expressed his commitment to international laws and resolutions that protect the Palestinians' right to return and live in their land.
