- Story Text: Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets of central London on Saturday (March 15) calling for a ceasefire and an end to the conflict in the Middle East.
Protesters carried signs reading “Stop arming Israel” as drummers, wrapped in Palestinian flags, drummed to the beat of "free Palestine" chants.
A small group carrying Israeli flags also protested in the same area, calling for the release of Israeli hostages.
On Saturday, at least nine Palestinians were killed, including two local journalists, and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza's northern Beit Lahiya town, Gaza's health ministry said, as Hamas' leaders hold Gaza ceasefire talks with mediators in Cairo.
Several were critically injured as the strike hit a car, with casualties inside and outside the vehicle, health officials told Reuters.
