Hamas flag-wielding anti-Israel protesters show off portrait of killed terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh in shocking Times Square rally
SUMMARY
In a shocking demonstration in Times Square, anti-Israel protesters displayed a portrait of assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and waved a Hamas flag, which is widely recognized as a symbol of terrorism. The protest, attended by approximately 300 people, coincided with a speech by former Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Jonathan Conricus in midtown New York. The demonstration featured chants of "Free Palestine" and other expressions of support for Hamas, with some protesters also waving Hezbollah flags. Tensions escalated when protesters surrounded Israel supporters, resulting in a confrontation that involved the use of liquids and an unknown substance. Six protesters were taken into custody by police. The protest occurred just after Haniyeh was killed in an airstrike in Tehran, for which Iran and Hamas have blamed Israel.
