Police Clash With October 7 Protesters Outside Knesset

Israeli police clashed Thursday morning with protesters outside the Knesset during nationwide events marking 1,000 days since the Hamas-led October 7 massacre. JPost and Ynet report demonstrators said police began a forceful dispersal as activists gathered near parliament; IsraelInfo says the protests began at 6:29 a.m., blocked roads and demanded a state commission of inquiry. The scene was painful but still democratic: families and citizens are demanding answers from their own government, not forgetting the Hamas atrocity that started the war. Israel should protect public order while giving bereaved families and survivors room to demand accountability.
