Some 2,000 demonstrators rally in support of Israel in the French city of Marseille.

“We are here to show our solidarity with Israel, which has been attacked and has a right to defend itself,” Jewish communal leader William Labi tells Reuters.

Alongside the protesters but separated by riot police, a few dozen pro-Palestinian activists stage a counter-rally at the site.
