Srinagar: A widespread shutdown occurred throughout the Kashmir valley, including Budgam, in response to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The local community demonstrated solidarity by closing shops and business establishments, and participating in protests against the act deemed as aggression by Israel.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the assassination, which took place during an Israeli airstrike on Beirut last Friday evening, has ignited protests and rallies across Budgam and Srinagar. These protests have strongly condemned the Israeli actions in Gaza and Lebanon, calling for an immediate cessation of airstrikes.
The events following Nasrallah’s death have resonated deeply in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where locals have expressed both outrage and mourning. The significant turnout at the rallies throughout the weekend highlights the regional impact of the incident and the strong feelings it has stirred among the Kashmiri populace.
