Protesters in Kabul pumped their fists into the air and shouted slogans against Israel and the United States, while in Srinagar activists burned an effigy of Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister.
In Ramallah in the West Bank, Palestinians seeking national unity marched through streets and there were clashes with riot police.
'Killer Israel'
In Ankara, Turkey's capital, about 5,000 people shouted "killer Israel" during an anti-Israeli rally as anger mounted in a country traditionally considered an ally of Israel.
The demonstration is the second largest in Turkey in as many days.
The protesters, who turned out in freezing weather, shouted "resist and win freedom" in support of Hamas.
Many waved Palestinian flags and wore headbands with Arabic scripts.
The fighting has troubled Turkey's efforts to help broker peace between Israel and its Arab opponents, forcing Turkey to suspend its mediation between Israel and Syria and leading to resignations by some of Turkey's politicians from a Turkish-Israeli friendship group.
In Britain, about 18 protests across the country, the largest being held in London, are expected to draw up to 20,000 during the day.
Nadim Baba, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the British capital, said protest organisers were expecting a big turnout.

More than 10,000 people marched through Indonesia's capital carrying banners and Palestinian flags.
The demonstrators gathered in the city centre to pray for the
safety of Palestinians before marching to the US embassy, which was guarded by hundreds of police.
