65 Berlin police injured as pro-Palestinian protesters call to ‘burn everything’

Sixty-five police officers were injured at overnight protests in Berlin against Israel’s response against Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the terror group launched a devastating attack earlier this month that killed over 1,400, authorities said Thursday.

As demonstrators defied bans on such gatherings, the officers were “wounded by stones, flammable liquid and acts of resistance,” Berlin police said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

A police spokeswoman said 174 people were arrested, including 65 who will be facing investigations.

The gathering began late Wednesday in Neukoelln, a district with a large Arab community.

The Bild daily said a call had gone out on Telegram calling on “men” to “turn Neukoelln into Gaza. Burn everything.” READ MORE
