Police made multiple arrests at pro-Palestine demonstrations in two separate incidents over the weekend.

In Israel, mounted police officers dispersed hundreds of demonstrators and arrested at least 17 people after authorities declared the gathering unlawful. The protest was described as an anti-war demonstration, though specific details about the location and nature of the event were not immediately available.

Separately in the United Kingdom, seven people were arrested at RAF Lakenheath on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action. The arrests involved five men and two women who were reportedly at a peace camp near the military base.

Palestine Action is a direct action group that has previously targeted military facilities and companies with ties to Israel's defense industry. The organization has claimed responsibility for various protests and acts of civil disobedience at UK military and industrial sites.

Both incidents reflect ongoing tensions and activism related to the conflict in Gaza and Israel's military operations. The arrests come amid continued international debate over the war and calls for ceasefire from various protest groups worldwide.
