Hundreds of people gathered at Odenplan Square in Stockholm on Saturday, Dec. 6, to protest Israel’s ongoing strikes in Gaza, responding to a call by several civil society groups, Anadolu reports.
Demonstrators accused Israel of violating the 10 October ceasefire with renewed air raids and restricting humanitarian aid into the enclave.Carrying signs reading “Bombing civilians is not self-defence,” “Say no to genocide,” “Stand up for Palestine,” “End food restrictions” and “Israel must respect the peace agreement,” protesters urged the Swedish government to impose a full military embargo on Israel.The crowd later marched toward the Swedish Parliament.Earlier Saturday, the Israeli military launched a series of heavy airstrikes and conducted demolitions in several areas under its control across the Gaza Strip, marking new violations of the ceasefire agreement that entered its first phase on Oct. 10.The Israeli army continues to hold control of the southern and eastern corridors of the Gaza Strip, along with large parts of the north, covering more than 50% of the enclave.Israel continues to violate the ceasefire it signed with Hamas, having committed hundreds of violations and killed 366 Palestinians as of Thursday, according to official Gaza sources.
Israel has killed more than 70,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 171,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.
