Several thousand people marched in Sydney and hundreds in Melbourne today, protesting against Israeli attacks on Gaza amid days of conflict between the two sides.
Israeli planes renewed air strikes in Gaza early today and Hamas militants in Gaza responded by firing rockets into Israel as their battle entered a fifth night.
In Melbourne, protesters gathered at the State Library of Victoria and then marched to Parliament House, many carrying “Free Palestine” posters.
At least 132 people have been killed in Gaza since Monday, including 32 children and 21 women, Palestinian medical officials said.
Eight people have been killed in Israel, including six civilians, among them two children, Israeli authorities said. ― Reuters
