02:26Dozens of pro-Palestine demonstrators blocked the way to the Royal Netherlands Army headquarters in Utrecht on Saturday to protest against the army's complicity with the Israeli actions in Gaza.
Footage shows protesters with Palestine flags and keffiyehs sitting at the building's gate and blocking its entrance.
Police officers are present, overseeing the protest, as activists chant pro-Paleste slogans, ignite pink smoke grenades, and hold solidarity-themed signs and banners.
Fighting continues for the ninth month after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 38,098 Palestinian people were killed and 87,705 were injured at the time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
