Palestinians have held mass rallies in the occupied West Bank to remember Palestinians who lost their lives in the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza and to voice their support for resistance groups and the Gaza Strip.

The marches took place in the cities of Ramallah and Jenin on New Year’s Eve as Israel’s devastating war on Gaza entered its 87th day.

In Ramallah, the protesters chanted slogans in solidarity with al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds, the military wings of the Gaza-based Hamas and Islamic Jihad resistance groups.

The demonstrators cried, “The masses want the Al-Qassam Brigades!” “Let us see their body parts! These are the actions of Saraya! Saraya, O Saraya!”

Waving Palestinian flags, they also carried a long banner filled with the names of thousands of Palestinians, who were killed in the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza.

“We say to you, our sons, we are with you, united. We remain united in the field and do not submit. This long night will end with the dawn of freedom and independence,” said Father Abdullah Yulio of the Melkite Catholic church.

Early on Monday, as the world was celebrating a new year with fireworks and festivities, Israeli warplanes bombarded central Gaza.

There were also reports of street fighting between the occupation troops and Palestinian resistance fighters in the besieged territory’s central and southern cities.

Israel waged the bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 21,822 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 56,451 others.

Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza.

The regime has further stepped up its violent raids across the West Bank since the beginning of the Gaza war, killing at least 315 Palestinians.
