Hundreds of students, pupils and citizens continued to gather on Thursday in front of the Municipal Theatre in Tunis to denounce the Israeli massacre against defenceless civilians in the Gaza Strip and to show support for and solidarity with the Palestinian people. The demonstrators chanted slogans in support of the Palestinian people and in defence of Al-Aqsa Mosque, such as “With our soul, with our blood, we sacrifice ourselves for you Palestine”, “Al-Quds is an Arab city”, “Gaza, Gaza… a symbol of pride”. They denounced the Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, especially the Zionist entity’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which left more than 500 martyrs, including children and infants. Chanting slogans such as “Teach your children that the city of Al-Quds is Arab and that the Zionist entity is an occupier” and “No abandonment of the Palestinian cause”, the demonstrators hailed Tunisia’s and its President’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people and the full solidarity of students with their Palestinian brothers. Security forces were deployed all along Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis to ensure public safety during the rallies and marches organised for the third consecutive day to denounce the massacres committed by the Zionist entity against the Palestinians.
