'Death to Israel' - protesters
17/07/2006 17:07 - (SA)
Berlin - More than 1 000 Lebanese and
Palestinians staged an anti-Israeli protest at Berlin's
Brandenburg Gate on Monday, police said.
A Reuters witness said demonstrators were chanting "death to
Israel" and "death to Zionists", while some carried placards
bearing the image of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Police said about 1 200 people took part in the protest at
the German capital's famous landmark, not far from a major
memorial to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust.
Israel bombarded Lebanon for a sixth day on Monday after
Hezbollah seized two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid
last week. Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern
Israel.
