The Quds Day rallies this year are of special importance as the Zionist regime of Israel's genocidal war against the people of Palestine in the invaded Gaza Strip is ongoing after six months.
International Quds Day is considered the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who is revered as a spiritual leader by Muslims worldwide.
In 1979, shortly after leading an Islamic revolution that toppled the US-backed Shah of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini named the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan Quds Day.
The following video shows Ziad Al-Nakhlah, the Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Abu Fadak Al-Mohammedawi, the deputy chairman of the Iraqi Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units (PMU)) in Quds Day march in Tehran.
People in the Turkish city of Konya marked International Quds Day by holding a rally to condemn the Zionist Israel's genocidal war on Gaza Strip, Palestine.
People in the Deh-e Aftab village in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province turned out in support of Palestine and condemnation of the Zionist regime's atrocities in the occupied West Bank and the invaded Gaza Strip.
The people of holy city of Mashhad in northeast Iran held a massive rally in downtown the city.
The people of Isfahan in central Iran held big rallies in iconic Naqsh-e Jahan Square.
People in Tehran and other cities carried placards and images of martyred Gazans that have come under the most unprecedented campaign of bombings and displacement by Israel.
A funeral was held on the sidelines of the rallies in the capital Tehran for the seven IRGC military advisors who were martyred on Monday in a Zionist Israeli regime's airstrike on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria.
Major General Hossein Salami is scheduled to address the rallies in Tehran before the start of the Friday Prayers.
The Israeli regime continues the war, despite the UN Security Council passing a resolution, calling for an immediate cease-fire during Ramadan and Tel Aviv appearing before the International Court of Justice for the first time on charges of "genocide" against the Palestinians.
The death toll from Israel's war on Gaza has risen to 33,000, the Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement on Friday, while more than 75 other people have been injured since October 7, 2023.
