Protesters at Gaza gathering sustain injuries, medical helicopter dispatched for aid
Pro-Palestinian Demonstration in Berlin Turns Violent
On Saturday, a pro-Palestinian demonstration took place in Berlin, traveling from Steglitz to Schoeneberg. The event, which involved up to 1,100 people, turned violent as demonstrators clashed with police.
According to the police, demonstrators masked themselves with keffiyehs and chanted "criminally relevant slogans". The authorities reported that more than 20 people were injured during the demonstration, with 17 police officers suffering injuries. Four demonstrators were hospitalized, and some of them required emergency transportation via rescue helicopter.
Heavy-handed police tactics were evident in videos shared on social media, with demonstrators alleging that they were subjected to excessive force. Indictments included resisting arrest, bodily harm, breach of the peace, and incitement to violence. A total of 28 criminal charges were filed during the protest.
Two demonstrators were reported to have suffered serious injuries, with one having their nose broken, and another knocked-out by police. Demonstrators were also accused of throwing bottles or kicking at officers. Police claimed that demonstrators hindered rescue efforts.
In the aftermath of the incident, 26 people were arrested. The demonstration was part of a series of large and frequent pro-Palestinian protests across Europe this year, often focusing on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas and subsequent Israeli military actions.
However, there is no verifiable information about a specific rescue helicopter event during a pro-Palestinian protest in Germany on July 15, 2023. It is possible that the incident was not widely reported or recorded in major news sources, or that the event may have occurred under different circumstances or dates. Further targeted research could be attempted if more details about the location or specifics of the demonstration become available.
