The Greeks protested on Sunday the relentless Israeli attacks on Gaza and expressed solidarity with Palestinians. Hundreds of spectators, who gathered at the Panathenaic Stadium in central Athens on the occasion of the 40th Athens Marathon opened Palestinian flags and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans.
Some participants of the marathon also displayed smaller size Palestinian flags to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Meanwhile, as reported by the Greek Communist Party’s (KKE) news outlet 902.gr, hundreds of people rallied around Souda Bay in Greece, used by the US Navy and Air Forces, to protest the Israeli attacks on Gaza and the NATO and US polices in the conflict.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip — including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship — since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.
The number of deaths in the ongoing Israeli military attacks on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7 has surpassed the grim figure of 11,100, including more than 8,000 children and women, the government media office in Gaza said on Sunday. The Israeli death toll is more than 1,400, according to official figures.
