ISTANBUL — Hundreds of Muslims in Turkey have rallied, urging Palestinians to "continue resistance" against Israel.
They shouted support for militant Hamas leaders on Friday at a symbolic funeral prayer for Palestinians killed in the spate of violence this week between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
About 300 Muslims at the event hollered slogans in Turkish, including "Greetings to Hamas, continue resistance." They called on Turkish soldiers to go to Gaza to help fight Israel and sang of the domed mosque in contested Jerusalem: "Al-Aqsa will be saved if blood flows in streams."
Some also waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in Arabic.
People in Turkey have been demonstrating against Israel this week, gathering without much interference from the police despite a strict lockdown to curb COVID-19 infections.
