Germany: Dozens injured at Berlin pro-Palestinian protest

Several protesters and police officers sustained injuries during violent confrontations at a pro-Palestinian demonstration marking Nakba Day in Berlin on Thursday.
According to police, who made over 50 arrests, approximately 1,100 people took part in the demonstration in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg in remembrance of the Nakba and protesting against Israel's continuing military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Nakba means "catastrophe" in Arabic and refers to the forced displacement or fleeing of Palestinians during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 after Israel's founding. About 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes in the years before and after the proclamation of the State of Israel.
Some 1,200 Israelis — around 800 civilians — were killed and another 250 abducted in the attack on Israelby the Palestinian militant group Hamas on October 7, 2023. Israel's military response has seen over 53,000 Palestinians — mainly women and children — killed, according to health authorities in Hamas-led Gaza Strip, whose casualty counts do not differentiate between militants and civilians but are regarded as reliable by international organizations, and much of the territory laid to waste.
