After the crisis between Palestine and Israel broke out earlier this week, officials in Italy reportedly increased security measures around Jewish community centers, according to a press statement, EU Helpers says.
Anadolu Agency, a news organization, previously claimed that hundreds of people protested against Israeli attacks on Palestinian territory and a hospital in Gaza by taking to the streets of Firenze and congregating in Piazza della Republica.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported last week that 471 people were killed and another 342 were injured in Gaza as a result of an Israeli attack that struck Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital; however, Israeli authorities have denied involvement.
More than 1,400 Israelis have died since the start of Operation Swords of Iron, which is a counterattack to the Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches into Israel by land, sea, and air. Since the start of the conflict on October 7, at least 3,478 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks.
According to the Hamas organization, the invasion was in revenge for the Israeli military's invasion of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and an uptick in Israeli violence against Palestinians.
