Among the cities that witnessed the protests were Beni Mellal and Meknes in the north, Casablanca and El Jadida in the west, and Taza in the east.

The protesters raised slogans condemning the massacres committed by Israel against civilians in Gaza and the policy of starvation and forced displacement of the population.
