Danish police use tear gas on protesters supporting Palestine

Danish police on dispersed a group of protesters gathered here in the capital on Friday to show solidarity with Palestine, reported by Anadolu News Agency.

The protest, which began at the Svanemollen train station with a small group that was planned to end at the Israeli Embassy via walking in corteges following speeches, saw a clash between demonstrators and police in front of the diplomatic building.

Police intervened after a loud explosion was heard with torpedoes thrown several times behind a police cordon that was formed around the embassy. Police dispersed tear gas on demonstrators gathered at a square with more than one tear gas bomb.

Several women and children among demonstrators were affected by the tear gas.

Law enforcement officers then dispersed protesters using force.

About 4,000 people attended the demonstration, according to information Danish state television, DR, received from security forces.

Israeli occupying forces raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque during special night prayers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Several residential towers in Gaza City have been destroyed by Israeli fighter jets, an act that could amount to a war crime.
