LONDON (AA) - A group of protesters in London demonstrated Friday in solidarity with Palestinians.
The gathering inside the King’s Cross Station held a sit-in late before the crowd was asked to leave the building.
They continued their protest outside the station shouting “Stop bombing Gaza,” and later marched toward Euston Station.
Chanting pro-Palestinian slogans and calling for a cease-fire, the group was supported by cars with honking horns during the march.
When the group arrived near Euston Station, a man, believed to be pro-Israeli, tried to prevent the group and tried to grab one of the pro-Palestinian signs.
During the skirmish, a pro-Palestinian marcher, who allegedly tried to protect the sign and prevent another marcher, was handcuffed by police officers.
The Israeli army has widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the surprise offensive by Hamas on Oct. 7.
More than 10,700 people have been killed in the conflict, including at least 9,240 Palestinians and more than 1,538 Israelis.
