Muslim riots in Berlin leave 20 police officers injured and men arrested for botched terror attack on synagogue
At least 20 police officers were injured during a riot led by Muslim immigrants in the German capital of Berlin on Tuesday evening, and police chiefs have warned the city’s emergency services are “becoming targets of religious fanaticism.”
Pro-Palestinian activists took to the streets in an unregistered demonstration at the Brandenburg Gate and scenes soon turned ugly as protesters set fire to barricades and hurled stones and pyrotechnics at police officers and firefighters.
A large police presence was deployed to control the situation, and some officers were tasked with protecting the Holocaust memorial next to the Brandenburg Gate with police dogs as rioters chanted anti-Semitic slogans.
The riot is understood to have been sparked by a massive explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, which claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians on Tuesday evening. The cause of the blast is currently unknown, with both the Israeli government and Palestine’s Hamas blaming each other for the explosion.
Police officers eventually used water canons to disperse the rioters and secure the area.
“We are experiencing the effects of a religious war on the streets of the capital, in which our emergency services are becoming targets of religious fanaticism,” said state police chief Stephan Weh on Wednesday.
Riots broke out in Berlin last night after the strike on the Al-Ahly hospital in Gaza.
