Palestinian and Israeli supporters clashed at a London Underground station as police tried to contain thousands of pro-Palestine protesters demonstrating near the Israeli embassy. Video showed police separating demonstrators at the station as the rally escalated. In contrast, weeping Israelis gathered outside Downing Street to vigil for victims of Hamas's weekend assault. Rishi Sunak also visited a synagogue in support of Israel. In Kensington, pro-Palestine protesters launched fireworks, some toward the embassy, and chanted anti-Israel slogans. But Israelis swarmed the area waving flags, causing things to turn ugly before police intervened amid the night of fury.
