The women, members and supporters of an Islamic women’s militant group, Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or “Daughters of Faith,” marched through the streets of Srinagar, the main city in India’s Jammu-Kashmir state, shouting slogans in support of the Hezbollah militant group. They were covered head-to-toe in black burqas, with only their eyes revealed.

“Hey Hezbollah carry on, the entire Muslim world is with you,” the women chanted as they marched toward the city’s main business center before dispersing peacefully.

Some of the women carried placards that said, “Down with Israel, down with the United States” and “We are with Hezbollah and Hamas.”

The women’s group is one among more than a dozen Islamic militant groups seeking independence for Kashmir or the merger of the Himalayan region with neighboring Pakistan.

Israel attacked southern Lebanon after the Hezbollah militant group kidnapped two Israeli soldiers on July 12. The violence has claimed the lives of more than 350 Lebanese and 30 Israelis and displaced 500,000 people.
