Rapids in Neukölln-police use water cannons: Pro-Palestine demo in Berlin. | Reading time: 4 minutes

According to a report by www.morgenpost.de, there were serious riots in Neukölln, Berlin at night. Pro-Palestinian protesters fought with the police in which they threw bottles and stones onto the emergency services. The police used water cannons to control the situation. The assignment took several hours and arrested. The situation escalated around 10 p.m. on Sonnenallee, where protesting barricades from garbage cans and construction site elements built and set fire to fire. They also lit pyrotechnics and chanted slogans like "Free Palestine". Bottles flew on the police force before the officers finally used the water cannon. The situation only calmed down after 1 a.m.

Barricades in the high-deck settlement also burned, where a coach burned out on New Year's Eve. The police were already used in the early evening due to an unvalved pro-Palestine demonstration in Neukölln. At the same time, a pro-Palestine reminder guard took place at the Brandenburg Gate, which also caused attacks on emergency services.

According to the Berlin Morgenpost, the riots are said to have taken place due to the explosion of a rocket in Gaza city, in which "200 to 300" people were killed. The spokesman for the Israeli army states that the Islamic jihad is responsible for the rocket fire.

The riots have local effects on the Neukölln district, where barricades burned and the police started water cannons to control the situation. The protesters expressed their protest against the situation in Gaza and chanted slogans for Palestine.
