Oct 20, 2023 | At least 174 people were arrested and 65 police officers injured at unauthorized pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Berlin on Wednesday night, according to a police spokesperson. Authorities had banned such protests, which have been called in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the militant group which killed around 1,400 Israelis in a terrorist attack two weeks ago. Clashes broke out in the district of Neukölln between police and protesters who did not comply with orders to disperse. Some attendees used pyrotechnics, set fire to barricades and pelted police with stones and bottles, law enforcement said.
