STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Muslims demonstrated after Friday prayers in Kabul in support of the Palestinians and against the intensifying Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Palestinians began a mass exodus from northern Gaza on Friday after Israel’s military told some 1 million people to evacuate toward the southern part of the besieged territory, an unprecedented order ahead of an expected ground invasion against the ruling Hamas militant group.

Hamas, which staged an attack on Israel nearly a week ago and has fired thousands of rockets since, dismissed the evacuation order as a ploy and called on people to stay in their homes.

Weekly Muslim prayers brought protests over the violence in a number of countries including Afghanistan.

Israel has bombarded Gaza round-the-clock since Hamas' attack, in which its fighters massacred hundreds in southern Israel and snatched some 150 people to Gaza as hostages.

The conflict has already claimed over 3,000 lives on both sides and sent tensions soaring across the region.

Protesters carried banners declaring that Israel was the biggest terrorist with one protester demanded that Afghanistan provide "facilities for us to go to Palestine to help our Palestinian brothers and we want to sacrifice ourselves and we want to get martyrdom against Jewish and Israel."
