Berlin Deploys Thousands Of Police At Oct 7 Anniversary Events

More than 2,000 police officers are on duty in Berlin on Monday as the German capital holds a number of events to mark the first anniversary of the Oct. 7, attacks on Israel.

After an early evening service at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the western district of Charlottenburg, more than 1,000 demonstrators were at a silent march to a nearby Jewish community centre.

Another 1,000 participants were registered to attend a vigil in the central Mitte district.

Pro-Palestinian rallies were also held in the southern neighbourhood of Kreuzberg and on Potsdamer Platz.

A march on Sunday titled “Demo against genocide in Gaza’’ was closed down by police after some of the 3,500 participants clashed with officers. (dpa/NAN)
