In Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, on the night of Saturday, October 19, an angry crowd stormed the headquarters of the Saudi entertainment television channel MBC and destroyed it.
According to the Shafaq News portal, the reason for the anger of the protest participants was a report in which the leaders of the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip were called terrorists.
Hamas Politburo chief assassinated by Israelis Yahyu Sinwara Saudi journalists called him “the butcher of Khan Yunis.” To do so, the rioters destroyed everything in the headquarters and then also set fire to its outdoor patio.
Additionally, protesters demanded that the Iraqi government close the channel’s office in Baghdad and issue an official statement condemning everything said in the report.
As a result, Iraqi security forces were forced to intervene in the situation. They managed to expel the protesters from the television station building. Although they themselves had nothing to do there.
Previously EADaily reported that the Israeli army killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The leader of the group died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.
