Description

Clashes broke out between pro-Palestine protesters and riot police in Chicago after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, Thursday.

Footage shows thousands of protesters marching with Palestinian flags and various banners. Activists were also seen clashing with police officers.

Protests focusing on the Israel-Hamas conflict have been taking place during the Democratic National Convention, which is being held from August 19 to 22.

Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel 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 40,265 people had been killed and more than 93,144 injured at the time of publication.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) 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.
