Israel-Hamas Conflict: Police Appeal for Information on Two Women Sporting Paraglider Images at London Protest
The images could potentially allude to Hamas militants infiltrating Israel using motorised paragliders in an unexpected assault last weekend, which tragically resulted in the loss of 260 lives at a music festival.
Two women, who donned images of paragliders on their backs during yesterday’s protest in support of Palestinians, are currently being sought by London police.
These women, identifiable by their red and black jackets, are urged to step forward as part of an inquiry into a potential public order violation.
The imagery may allude to the recent incident where Hamas infiltrated Israel using motorised paragliders in a surprise attack. This resulted in the tragic loss of hundreds of lives, including 260 individuals at a music festival.
Anyone who can identify these individuals is requested to get in touch with the authorities by dialling 101.
This development coincides with the arrest of a woman in Brighton on suspicion of supporting Hamas, an organisation designated as a terrorist group in the UK.
Ahead of this weekend’s demonstrations, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor of the Metropolitan Police stated, “People do not have the right to incite violence or hatred. The law is clear that support for proscribed organisations is illegal. Anyone with a flag in support of Hamas or any other proscribed terrorist organisation will be arrested. We will not tolerate the celebration of terrorism or death, or tolerate anyone inciting violence. We have seen behaviours this week that are unacceptable. They are hateful and there is no place for that in London.”
Arrest Made Following Racial Abuse Incident
In a separate incident in London, a 67-year-old man has been charged after allegedly directing racist slurs at those gathered in Whitehall yesterday, including making offensive comments towards a police officer.
Video footage circulated online showing the man being led away, holding a Union Jack.
However, the Met Police clarified this morning, stating: “This was in no way the reason for his arrest and forms no part of the charges against him.”
He has been granted bail and is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 2 November.
Thousands of people participated in pro-Palestinian marches across the UK on Saturday, resulting in the arrest of seven individuals in London.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman tweeted on Sunday morning: “To all those who saw fit to promote genocide, glorify terrorism and mock the murder of Jewish people, including women and babies – the police are coming for you.”
