Videos emerged showing celebrations in London after Hamas launched deadly attacks against Israel, killing over 300. People were seen cheering and holding Palestinian flags. In response, London's Metropolitan Police said they are aware of incidents shared on social media about the conflict. They stated an appropriate policing plan is in place to balance protests with minimizing disruption. Patrolling has been increased to reassure communities after Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick retweeted a video of the celebrations. Earlier reports said celebrations also occurred in Iran, calling Hamas' offensive a "proud operation". The police aim to prevent tensions from escalating locally due to the conflict.
