Three protesters arrested in Montreal for assaulting police officers

At pro-Palestinian and anti-NATO protests, three people were arrested after a clash with Montreal police. This was reported on November 22 by the Montreal Gazette newspaper with reference to Montreal police spokesman Manuel Couture.

It is noted that the first group of protesters gathered in the park Emilie-Gamelen in the city center, later another group formed on the Square of Arts, and then the two demonstrations united, marching down the street of the city. At the same time, tensions gradually began to rise. For example, demonstrators burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the middle of the crowd, smashed store windows, set two cars on fire.

It is noted that small explosive devices and metal objects were used against police officers at the rally.

"Couture said police used chemical irritants and conducted crowd dispersal maneuvers to regain control. Three protesters were arrested for allegedly assaulting police officers and obstructing police work," the newspaper said in a story.

How the nature of the confrontation between the Lebanese movement and the IDF will change

Earlier, on October 6, an unknown person, presumably a pro-Palestinian activist, smeared red paint on the headquarters of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Berlin. The attacker wrote an anti-Israeli slogan and then fled.

Before that, on October 5, the Berliner Zeitung newspaper reported that three pro-Palestinian protests were held in Berlin. At one of the rallies, titled "Stop the War," protesters shouted anti-Israel slogans. At another rally, "Vigil for Gaza," 10 people were arrested for illegal actions, including tearing paper flags of Israel.

The escalation of hostilities between the Jewish state and Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah movement came after the events of Sept. 17 and 18, when thousands of people, including movement employees, were injured when pagers and other communication devices were detonated in Lebanon. The country blamed Tel Aviv for what happened.

The Palestinians are trying to ensure that future borders between the two countries follow the lines that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, with possible land swaps.
