Pro-************ protesters gather march in central London

A pro-************ demonstration is marching through central London, with protesters calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

The group – thought to be a few thousand strong – is marching from Russell Square to Whitehall, where speeches will be given.

The event has been organised by groups including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with people travelling from across the *** to take part.

It comes as a policing operation is in place across the capital, one year after the 7 October attacks in *******.

The Metropolitan Police said it was hard to accurately estimate turnout but the protest “appears to be greater than other recent protests”.

People could be seen carrying ************ flags and placards with message “ceasefire now” and “hands off Lebanon”, and chanting “stop the ******** now”.

A counter-protest also took place forcing police to form a cordon between the two marches.

But a small group broke away from the pro-************ protest and were stopped trying to approach the counter-protest at Aldwych. Three people were arrested after officers intervened.

Conditions were imposed to move the counter-protest group back to Trafalgar Square as it got “too close to the main march and well away from the agreed area”, police said.

Two people have also been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

Police kept pro-************ protesters and counter-protesters apart

Separately, pro-************ supporters are walking through the centre of Edinburgh on Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday afternoon, a memorial event will take place in Hyde Park organised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the ******* Leadership Council and other groups.

The war began when ****** gunmen attacked ******* on 7 October last year, ******** about 1,200 people and taking 251 others as hostages.

******* responded with a military campaign in Gaza that has now ******* at least 41,825 people, according to the ******-run health ministry.
