Denouncing Israeli-US Terror, Muslims Rally for Al-Quds Day
IN PICTURES: Millions in Iran, Yemen, Gaza, Turkey, Pakistan and Lebanon attended Al-Quds International Day to mark the fight against Israeli terror.

Millions of Muslims chanted "Death to Israel" in rallies across the globe Friday at which they also burned U.S., U.K., Israeli and Islamic State group flags.

The marches marked Al-Quds Day, which was declared by Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and is held on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Opposition to Israel is a touchstone of belief among many in the region, especially the Shia organizations resisting U.S., Israeli and Saudi designs in the Middle East and Asia.
