SEVERAL protesters engaged in clashes with the police in Rio de Janeiro during a pro-Palestinian demonstration held in front of the U.S. Consulate.
According to some local sources, following the escalation of tensions between police and protesters, law enforcement resorted to firing tear gas bombs to disperse the demonstration.
Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing hundreds of people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200 according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a ‘complete siege’ of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes which Palestinian officials reported had killed over 10,000 people. A ground incursion began at the end of the third, with Israeli leaders vowing to ‘wipe out’ Hamas.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response.
To recall, the United Nations (UN) experts warned against ‘collective punishment’ for the people of Gaza, before predicting a ‘humanitarian crisis’ and then claimed that ‘hell is settling in’ for the region.
