Pro-Hamas, Anti-Israel Protestors Riot Outside Athens Hotel Where Israeli Guests Were Staying

The rooftops of Athens
Anti-Israel protests erupted outside the Brown Acropol Athens Hotel in Greece  Wednesday night. Demonstrators chanted anti-Israeli slogans because a group of Israeli tourists was believed to be staying at the property.
The protests escalated into a riot and the group tried to force its way into the hotel.
The hotel is located on Omonia Square, a major business and commercial area of the city.
Greek police forcefully intervened, using gas grenades to disperse the crowd and restore order. Social media posts from the scene showed a chaotic scene outside the hotel as protesters dispersed amidst the sound of exploding grenades.
The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that there had been no known Israeli casualties following the unrest although it did not comment on the condition of any of the rioters.
