03:37Thousands rallied in Eindhoven on Saturday to denounce the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and show their solidarity with the people of Palestine as tensions continued to escalate in the Middle East.
Footage shows crowds marching with Lebanese and Palestinian flags while holding flags and banners displaying slogans such as 'hands off Lebanon' and 'stop killing children'.
On Monday (September 23), Israel announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these attacks have resulted in more than 1,030 deaths and left 6,300 people injured.
"Innocent people all around the world are being killed, not just in Palestine but also in Lebanon and many other countries. And it's the right and human thing to do, to speak up. We cannot be silent," an activist said.
"It just has to stop. And now it feels like you can do anything in this world. You can just get away with murder and killing endlessly. And we are seeing it again," added a second.
On Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed reports that its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah had died following an Israeli airstrike on the militant group's central headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs.
In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Nasrallah's death 'settled the account' with a 'mass murderer', describing the Hezbollah leader as a terrorist and the 'central engine of Iran's axis of evil'.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
