Attempted Occupation at Berlin's Free University Ends in Arrests

Masked activists failed to seize the university's main building amid violent clashes and significant property damage.

Approximately 15 to 20 masked individuals stormed the Free University of Berlin's main building, attempting to occupy it in a protest linked to the Middle East conflict.
The activists sprayed pro-Palestinian slogans and Hamas symbols on the building's walls, causing significant damage to the historic site.
University staff were evacuated, and at least one person was reported injured during the confrontation.
Police arrested four suspects near the scene and secured extensive evidence during the operation, which involved around 70 officers.
The incident drew condemnation from local political figures, who emphasized that violence is not an acceptable form of protest.
