Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in London, Berlin and Dublin on Saturday, three days after the third anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
Several thousand people walked through central London near Parliament, carrying placards reading “End the genocide” and “Free Palestine” and calling for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza. The London demonstration was organized by the Palestine Coalition. A small counter-demonstration was held by Stop The Hate UK, a Jewish-led pro-Israel group.
London’s Metropolitan Police imposed public-order restrictions, including requiring people using face coverings to conceal their identities to remove them. Police said 20 people were arrested, including two carrying placards supporting Palestine Action, which is banned under UK law. The force had pledged a “zero-tolerance approach” to hate crimes and other offenses.
In Berlin, police said about 3,500 people joined a march organized by United for Palestine. Demonstrators criticized German arms exports and military support for Israel. Protesters also marched in Dublin at an event organized by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The Oct. 7 attack killed 1,221 people in Israel, according to an Agence France-Presse tally based on official Israeli figures, and 251 hostages were taken into Gaza. The weekend demonstrators called for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs a few details narrowed or corrected to match the source material. - "days after the third anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel": The source says the protests came three days after the third anniversary, not just days after. - "The demonstration was organized by the Palestine Coalition.": This sentence could be read as referring to all demonstrations; the sources specify the London protest was organized by the Palestine Coalition. - "The weekend demonstrators called for further action over Israel’s subsequent military campaign in Gaza.": The sources say demonstrators called for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza; they do not say they called for further action over Israel’s campaign.
