Clashes Erupt at Mexico City Protest Against Israel’s War on Gaza

Tensions escalated in Mexico City as protesters clashed with police during a demonstration against Israel’s war on Gaza. The protest, titled "Urgent action for Rafah," saw about 200 people rally outside the Israeli embassy on Tuesday. The situation intensified when some protesters attempted to break down barriers to reach the embassy, leading to confrontations with riot police.

Protesters, with faces covered and armed with stones, faced off against police in the Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood. Police responded with tear gas and returned the stones thrown at them by the crowd.

This demonstration was sparked by Sunday evening’s Israeli airstrike on a displacement camp near Rafah, which resulted in 45 deaths, according to Palestinian officials. The attack ignited a fierce inferno, prompting international outrage and protests.
