Berlin Pro-Palestinian Protest Results in Arrests and Clashes

Demonstrators attempted to storm a department store following a rally, leading to police intervention and multiple arrests.

Berlin police initiated 15 criminal proceedings against demonstrators for offenses including resisting and attacking officers, using prohibited symbols, and causing bodily harm.
Approximately 350 people gathered for the pro-Palestinian demonstration, which included the use of the controversial slogan 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.'
The slogan, linked to Hamas, is banned in Germany when used as a symbol of the organization, and led to at least one temporary arrest.
After the protest, tensions escalated near the Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) as demonstrators attempted to enter the store, resulting in further clashes and injuries to police.
A separate pro-Kurdish demonstration in Neukölln involved a minor altercation related to the use of a gesture associated with the Turkish ultra-nationalist group, Ülkücü.
