Pro-Palestinian supporters march outside Columbia University

On the first day of the semester at Columbia University in New York City, pro-Palestinian students and activists have staged protests, as the Israeli war in Gaza rages on.

The spring 2024 semester saw a wave of protests against the war on Gaza across university campuses in the US and Europe that drew harsh, violent crackdowns from local authorities.

Mass demonstrations continue in Tel Aviv, as protesters clash with police

Video posted on social media by Israeli accounts, and verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit, show thousands on the streets of Tel Aviv demanding a deal to release captives held in Gaza by Hamas and other groups.

Some of the footage shows arrests being made and police assaulting demonstrators.

Protests erupted over the weekend after six more captives were found dead in the Gaza Strip.

Translation: Several thousand protesters on the Begin road. This is the fourth evening in a row that the road is full of protesters. This time the police did not block the area in advance and a few minutes ago the police arrested two protesters who came down to block the road. Later, the police threatened to evacuate the protestors and were already preparing to evacuate, but finally backed off and went back.
