Pro-Israel rally in Milan draws 500

A pro-Israel rally in Milan, Italy, draws some 500 people, who come to show support for Israel in its struggle against Hamas.

The rally is held at the city’s Piazza San Babila.

“We sang, we danced, we voiced peace and a siren went off to demonstrate what it’s like to live in the line of fire,” one Israeli, Elinor Betesh, tells The Times of Israel. “Vogliamo la pace! We are proud to be Israeli!”
