Istanbul, May 28 (RHC)-- Protesters have flooded the streets of the Turkish city of Istanbul to protest against the crimes of the Israeli regime, especially the latest massacre of scores of civilians in Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to reports from Turkey, thousands of people gathered around the Israeli consulate in Istanbul on Monday night to condemn the attacks on the Palestinian refugee camp in Rafah.

Molotov cocktails were thrown toward the building, but some social media posts say a group of protesters set fire to the vicinity of the Israeli consulate in protest of the barbaric massacre of Palestinians by the Zionist regime.

Protesters also urged the international community to intervene and stop the Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.

According to the IRNA news agency, at least 50 Palestinians, including women and children, were martyred and dozens of others were injured after Israeli warplanes bombed tents of people taking refuge after being displaced from other parts of the besieged strip over the last seven months.

Major Turkish cities, including Istanbul have seen several mass protests since the Israeli regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza in early October last year.
