Authorised rallies took place in many French cities on Saturday. French
President Francois Hollande said the ban on the Paris protest was needed to
preserve "public order" after last weekend's clashes. The ban, which was
considered rare in France, was criticised by some activists and the Greens
party. In London, thousands of people also took part in a protest, calling for
an end to Israel's ground campaign and rocket attacks on Gaza....Pro-Palestinian
protesters in France have clashed with police at a rally against Israel's action
in Gaza. Thousands took part in the protest in Paris, despite it being banned.
Some threw stones and bottles at riot police, who responded with tear gas. The
ban was imposed after protesters attempted to storm two synagogues at a similar
protest last week. Israel launched ground operations in Gaza on Thursday, after
air strikes failed to stop Hamas firing rockets. Israel says the ground
offensive is necessary to target a network of Hamas tunnels. More than 330
Palestinians have been killed since 8 July, officials in Gaza report. During
the same period, three Israeli soldiers and two Israeli civilians have been
killed, officials say. Several Israelis have also been seriously injured.
