Some 3,000 people in the western German city of Essen on Friday took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration protesting against the ongoing Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip.
The pro-Palestinian demonstration had been planned in advance and was escorted by heavy police presence.
It comes as tensions in Germany have been high, with several cities and municipalities banning anti-Israel protests and pro-Palestinian protests.
