Israeli police are operating to clear protesters who are blocking the entrance to the Knesset in Jerusalem on Thursday morning, the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 massacre. The demonstration is part of ongoing protests marking the milestone date, according to N12.
Police began clearing protesters blocking the main entrance to the Knesset on Thursday morning, the symbolic 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre, according to N12. The demonstration is the latest in a series of protests organized by groups marking the date, including earlier actions at the Prime Minister's residence and a nationwide 'wake-up call' at 06:29.
As The Zioneer reported, the day's events began at 06:29 with demonstrators staging a symbolic 'wake-up call' to Prime Minister Netanyahu, followed by a blockade at the Knesset gates. The police operation to clear the entrance is ongoing. No arrests or injuries have been reported yet.
The protests come amid a broader wave of demonstrations across the country, with organizers calling for accountability and memorial events. Earlier this week, police faced confrontations with Haredi protesters over military draft issues, but Thursday's Knesset protest is centered on the October 7 anniversary, drawing a distinct set of activists.
