Anti-Israel protests in Paris turn ugly once again
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleClashes broke out in Paris after hundreds gathered in defiance of a ban on their demonstration, with crowds throwing stones and bottles at riot police, who responded with tear gas.
Some 33 people were arrested by early evening, a police source says, while three police officers were injured in the disorder near Montmartre in the north of the French capital.
Protests were permitted in other French cities, where thousands turned out including in Lyon, Marseille and Strasbourg, while several thousand also rallied in solidarity with the Palestinians in Brussels.
Last weekend, anti-Israel protesters trapped hundreds of Jews in a synagogue in Paris after clashing with pro-Israel protesters outside the shul.
