Telangana: Women express solidarity with Palestine in Hyderabad

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 19 (ANI): Amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, Women in the Saidabad area of Hyderabad gathered at a Dargah ground to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine.
"For 13 days, Israeli forces continue to shed Palestinian blood. They target old people, infants, masjids and schools. They have not left the hospitals. We want to ask where is security council, where are the well-wishers of the childrens. No one can see the blood of the people of Gaza. The culprits of this war are US President Joe Biden and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," one of the women supporters told ANI.
"We are standing here against the cruelty of Israel. We gathered at a Dargah ground to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine," another women supporter said.
An explosion at the hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday claimed the lives of hundreds of people, according to health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave. A Gaza civil defence chief claimed on Al-Jazeera television that over 300 people were killed in the explosion at the Gaza hospital.
Earlier today, Israel received a cargo plane carrying the initial shipment of armoured vehicles from the United States to replace the vehicles damaged during the war, the Israel Ministry of Defence informed.
"The Israel Ministry of Defense recently received a cargo plane from the United States, carrying the initial shipment of armoured vehicles designated for use by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). They are being transferred to the IDF to replace vehicles damaged during the war," the Israel Ministry of Defence posted on X (formerly Twitter).
This comes after US President's visit to Israel amid the ongoing war with Hamas after the terror group launched a deadly attack.
Over the weekend, US Secretary of Defence Lyod Austin directed the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to join the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group which arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean last week.
The Navy units are part of a broader bolstering of US forces in the region. Last week, the Air Force announced the deployment of F-15 and F-16 fighter squadrons and A-10 attack squadrons to the region, according to a US Department of Defence press release.
During his visit, Biden compared the Hamas attack to "fifteen 9/11s" for a nation the size of Israel while retreating that America stood with Israelis and their demand for justice.
"My message to any State or any other hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel remains the same as it was a week ago - Don't. Don't. Don't. Since this terrorist attack, we have seen it described as Israel's 9/11. But for the nations the size of Israel, it was like fifteen 9/11s," the US President said at a press conference in Tel Aviv.
Biden also reassured Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the United States' unwavering support for Israel. He emphasized the commitment to stand by Israel as it defends its citizens, particularly in the face of recent terrorist attacks by Hamas.
The US President further reaffirmed that the US will continue to work with Israel to prevent the killing of civilians in the war.
As the Israel-Hamas war enters its 13th day, global protests over deadly strike at Gaza hospital continue with arrests of Jewish anti-war demonstrators reported inside US Congress, according to CNN.
The Palestinian Mission to the UN in Geneva has denounces Israeli disinformation and propaganda after deadly Gaza hospital explosion. At least 3,785 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas's October 7 attack inside Israel, which killed more than 1,400 people, CNN reported. (ANI)
