UK – ‘Public order incidents’ reported in London over Israel-Hamas conflict – as police standby for protests

London – A “small number” of incidents in London in relation to the ongoing conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip have been reported but all were resolved without arrests, police say.

The Metropolitan Police has said it has increased police patrols across London after receiving reports of people appearing to celebrate the attack on Israel by Hamas.

Further demonstrations are planned in the capital, including a Stop The War protest on Monday.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she expects officers to “use the full force of the law” against displays of support for the militant group.
