The Al Khalifa regime prevented the largest Friday prayers in Bahrain, held
at Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque, in an attempt to suppress the people’s
insistence on holding a memorial service for the Martyr and Great Leader,
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
On the morning of Friday, October 4, 2024, the regime’s mercenary gangs
surrounded the town of Diraz to prevent worshippers from reaching the
mosque. They blocked the streets leading to it with their vehicles and
deployed heavily armed personnel on foot throughout the internal roads.
Despite the security blockade, dozens of citizens managed to reach the
mosque and performed the prayer in congregation. They raised slogans
against the Zionist entity in the face of the regime’s mercenaries, who
released toxic gases and stun grenades at the worshippers after storming
the area around the mosque. They also fired rubber bullets at them after
they left the mosque.
The regime’s forces also arrested a number of citizens, amid growing
chants of full support for the Islamic Resistance fronts in Lebanon,
Palestine, and Yemen, along with demands to end normalization with the
occupying entity and to expel the occupation’s ambassador from the
country.
