German police cracked down harshly on pro-Palestinian protesters and detained many in Berlin, Anadolu Agency reports.

During a march that started from Neptunbrunnen Square, demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Germany finances, Israel bombs”, “Terrorist Israel”, “Palestine is ours” and “Freedom for Palestine.”

Tension rose after three people with opposing views raised the Israeli flag at Potsdamer Platz, the endpoint of the march.

Police intervened harshly against those in support of Palestine and detained many of the protesters.

Two female demonstrators were injured during the harsh intervention.​​​​​​​
