Students gathered in front of Humboldt University in Berlin on Wednesday to protest Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and crackdown on anti-war activists in Germany.
The crowd, which included anti-Israel Jewish protesters, chanted slogans and held placards. One of the students, Gregor Kahl, claimed that hundreds of people took part in the gathering. He lambasted the US for voting against the recent UN General Assembly resolution on Gaza and Germany for abstaining.
Israel targeted the Gaza Strip with aerial and land bombardments, besieged the enclave and launched the ground offensive in response to a cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 18,608 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 50,600 injured in the Israeli attacks.
Official figures put the death toll from the Hamas attack in Israel at 1,200, with some 139 hostages remaining in captivity.
