Senegal marches against Israeli offensives in Lebanon and Gaza: Video

Protesters in Senegal are echoing global calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.

Marching through Dakar on October 19, protestors demanded a ceasefire in the deadly conflict and denounced Israel's activities in Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah's stronghold in south Beirut and the city of Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, resulting in six deaths and 43 injuries, as reported by the AFP.

The strikes targeted municipal buildings and were condemned by Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati. In response, Hezbollah attacked an Israeli tank near the border.

The conflict, which began in October last year, has intensified, with Israel aiming to create a buffer zone free of Hezbollah fighters.

The war has displaced 690,000 people in Lebanon and caused significant casualties on both sides. Despite calls for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains opposed.
