Flares in the colours of the national flag were set off on the march, with chants of 'Free, free Palestine' from the crowd, as Scotland Yard warned anyone showing support for Hamas, which is a designated terror organisation in the UK, faces arrest.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators have taken to the streets of central London against the backdrop of the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas. More than 1,000 officers have been deployed by the Metropolitan Police for the march, as the force warned anyone showing support for Hamas, which is a designated terror organisation in the UK, faced arrest.
But Scotland Yard said the incident had so far not been linked to any protest group. The protest comes as Palestinians continue their mass exodus from northern Gaza after Israel's military told them to evacuate ahead of an expected ground invasion. The enclave has been besieged and subjected to sustained airstrikes following last weekend's deadly surprise assault on Israel by Hamas insurgents. The conflict has so far claimed more than 3,200 lives on both sides.
