An anti-Israel protester in New York was seen holding a sign supporting the terrorist group Hezbollah during a rally as world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan.
In a video filmed by FNTV, a masked and hooded protester can be seen holding a placard in one hand that reads: “New York for Hezbollah” with two red hearts drawn next to the words. In his other hand, he waves a Hezbollah flag.
“From Palestine to Lebanon, mobilize the Intifada,” chanted dozens of protesters at the rally.
Other placards and banners read: “Hands off Lebanon,” “No vote for genocide” and “Free Palestine.”

Anti-Israel protests have been ongoing for months in the United States following the October 7 massacre of nearly 1,200 people by Hamas in southern Israel. Israel responded in the days that followed by launching a war to eliminate Hamas in Gaza.

In recent weeks, Israel has also carried out attacks against the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon, eliminating some of its top commanders. Both Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran.

The Israeli strikes targeted Hezbollah cells and weapons caches. According to Lebanese authorities, the attacks left at least 560 people dead.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently sent a message to the Lebanese people, saying that Hezbollah was using them as “human shields” and urging them to seek refuge from harm.
Netanyahu is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Friday.
