Hundreds Of Rioters In Mexico City Set Fire To The Israeli Embassy

Rioters on Tuesday set fire to the Israeli Embassy in Mexico during a protest ostensibly against the Israeli military operation in the southern Gazan city of Rafah. Masked protesters threw stones at security forces who had created a barricade preventing access to the diplomatic mission in Mexico City’s Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood. Around 200 people participated in the “Urgent Action for Rafah” demonstration, dozens of whom attempted to break down the barriers, according to AFP. A video posted to social media showed fires raging outside the embassy complex. There were unverified reports of several people injured in the chaos.
