STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered Friday in Tahrir Square (Liberation Square) in the center of Baghdad to show support for the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The crowds were also protesting the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in the wake of the deadly surprise attack launched in southern Israel by the militant group Hamas on Oct. 7.
Israeli flags marked with a red X were set alight during the protest.
The protest was called by influential Shiite cleric and political leader Muqtada al-Sadr.
Similar protests are expected in Lebanon, Syria and other Arab countries following afternoon prayers Friday.
The protests come as Israel appears to be gearing up for a ground offensive in Gaza.
Israel’s military delivered sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people Friday, according to U.N. agencies.
