Hundreds of people gathered in Stockholm on Saturday evening following a call by several civil society organizations to protest against continued Israeli military attacks in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank, and Lebanon. Participants assembled at Odenplan Square to voice opposition to the strikes and violations of ceasefire agreements, carrying banners highlighting casualties among children, the bombing of schools and hospitals, and food shortages. Demonstrators demanded that Israel immediately halt its operations and called on the Swedish government to suspend all arms sales to Israel. Sources reported that the action took place peacefully with participants holding signs and calling for an end to the violence.
