Protesters against Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip gathered in front of the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo on Monday, exactly a year after the conflict with Hamas began.
About 150 people took part in the demonstration organized by a Japanese group. The participants expressed their opposition to the Israeli attacks, which have harmed and killed civilians. They shouted “Stop the war” and “Stop genocide.”
The demonstration lasted about an hour. The protesters briefly scuffled with riot police.
Police say a female participant was taken to a hospital after complaining of feeling ill.
