Authorities in Germany say 174 people were arrested and 65 police officers were injured in clashes with pro-Palestinian demonstrators who took to the streets of Berlin Wednesday night.

In a series of posts on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Berlin police said emergency responders were wounded by stones, pyrotechnics, and flammable liquids, among other things. They also said some of the arrestees sustained injuries after police had to use physical force to break the resistance.
