Riot

Far-right activists, some of whom performed Nazi salutes, tried to reach demonstrators camped out in the Puerta del Sol, a central square in the Spanish capital, to protest the housing crisis.

The demonstrations and blockades, which began last week, have become a political flashpoint at a sensitive moment for the government, which announced a series of deeply unpopular spending cuts.

A Border Police officer and another person were lightly wounded as rioters threw stones and other objects, damaged municipal vehicles and clashed with police and local residents.

Settler extremists threw stones, assaulted IDF and Border Police, and set fire to property throughout the area, actions which members of the establishment utterly condemned.

“Women’s problems are not limited to the hijab,” Fattahi said. “Freedom does not simply mean having the freedom to choose whether or not to wear a hijab. This is the most basic of women’s rights.”

The United Nations Development Program estimates that 90% of Syrians live below the poverty line, compared with about a third before the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

According to initial reports, an unspecified commotion is developing in the area.

The Prime Minister called out the violent event, where dozens of settler rioters gathered on the outskirts of the village of Kusra in the West Bank and were later dispersed by the IDF.

A demonstration against Jerusalem’s light rail expansion escalated Thursday night as protesters reportedly tore down fences and attempted to enter the construction site.

The two protesters were named by Mizan news agency as Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi, who were alleged to have attacked police officers.
