Police violently dispersed a pro-Palestine demonstration marking the second anniversary of Israel’s October 7, 2023 attacks on Gaza. Authorities had banned the rally at Alexanderplatz, but hundreds gathered near the Red City Hall chanting “Free Palestine” and “Stop the Holocaust.” Police surrounded the crowd, used water cannons, and detained several protesters. Clashes broke out as officers dragged demonstrators to the ground, with some fainting during the arrests. The protest, which lasted about four hours, ended with dozens detained as Berlin police pledged to release further details.
