Bahraini Security Forces Disperse Gaza, Lebanon Supporters with Tear Gas during Protests
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bahraini security forces fired tear gas to break up protests held on Friday in solidarity with Gaza and Lebanon, as Israeli military operations in the region intensify.
After Friday prayers in a northwestern Bahraini village, demonstrators gathered to express their support for Palestinians and Lebanese, chanting anti-Israeli slogans. The protesters also declared allegiance to Hezbollah leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Nasrallah was martyred on September 27 in an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb, using US-supplied weaponry. The incident is part of Israel's ongoing military escalation against Hezbollah, resulting in hundreds of deaths across Lebanon since last week.
Since October 2023, Israel has been conducting military operations against Lebanon, triggered by its genocidal war on Gaza.
The protests in Bahrain are part of a wider regional response, with demonstrations occurring in Jordan and other neighboring countries, condemning Israeli aggressions. Despite the airstrikes, Hezbollah continues retaliatory operations, including a hypersonic missile strike on Israeli-occupied territories.
Hezbollah, which has vowed to continue its operations, has played a key role in the conflict since the Israeli war began. Nearly 41,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have died in Gaza.
