Thousands of Afghans protest across the country against the Israeli bombardment of Hamas in Gaza, responding to a nationwide call by the Taliban authorities.
Large crowds gather in several cities after prayers waving Palestinian flags and burning pictures of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We are out in support with Gaza. And to show the world that Gaza is not alone, we are standing with them. Wherever Muslims are oppressed, we strongly defend them and condemn it,” says 28-year-old Jannat, who goes by one name, in the capital Kabul.
