Members of the Palestinian group Hamas held a protest on Wednesday outside the headquarters of the International Red Cross in Beirut in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The protesters called on the international community to put an end to the violence in Gaza, and to halt the killing of innocent Palestinian people.
Gaza medical officials say at least 208 Palestinians, including at least 150 civilians, among them 31 children, have been killed since border hostilities intensified last Tuesday (July 08).
One Israeli has been killed in the fighting. Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted 20 of the Hamas projectiles, including two over the Tel Aviv area, and the rest caused no damage or casualties.
The surge in hostilities over the past week was prompted by the murder last month of three Jewish seminary students in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the revenge killing on July 2 of a Palestinian youth in Jerusalem. Israel said on Monday three Jews in police custody had confessed to killing the Palestinian.
