Baku-APA. Hundreds of Iranian people gathered in the capital Tehran on Saturday to protest against Israel's offensive against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Chanting anti-Israel slogans, the demonstrators blamed the West and the United States for "supporting the Zionists."
"Today is the test day for us ... We should defend the oppressed Gazans," a university professor said when addressing hundreds of protesters in Tehran's Imam Hossein square.
Similar rallies have been held in Tehran during the past days to condemn the killing of innocent people by the Israeli army in Gaza.
Earlier Iran's Foreign Ministry also condemned Israel's continuous strikes on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip as "crimes against humanity."
On July 8, Israel started an all-out military Operation Protective Edge to stop Gaza rockets fire. Late Thursday Israel launched a ground operation in the Gaza Strip after days of heavy bombardment.
Over 330 Palestinians have been killed and 2,260 others injured during Israel's ongoing offensive on the coastal enclave, according to Gaza medics.
