Seven Arrested During Largely Peaceful Protests in NYC Marking Israel-Hamas Conflict Anniversary

Thousands gathered across Manhattan as tensions flared during demonstrations commemorating the start of the ongoing conflict.

Protests were organized by the group Within Our Lifetime, with demonstrations occurring at key locations like Wall Street and Washington Square Park.
The NYPD detained seven individuals, charging five with offenses including assault and resisting arrest; two received summonses.
Incidents included an NYPD captain allegedly being kicked and a protester charged with making graffiti.
A Jewish man was reportedly attacked while holding an Israeli flag, though no arrests have been made in that incident.
Security was heightened across the city, with a particular focus on synagogues, as hate crimes against Jewish people have risen this year.
