Pro-Hamas Mob Shows Up Outside Synagogue In Melbourne, Things Get Violent

A group of demonstrators supporting Israel and another backing Palestine/Hamas have clashed near a Melbourne synagogue in a wild brawl. Footage shared to social media showed the moment protesters from both sides started throwing punches in Caufield South, near Princes Park, on Friday night.

In one instance, two men grabbed each other before others piled in striking one another over the body and head in the middle of the road. Victoria Police tried to break up the scuffle, before at least one officer used pepper spray on a pair of males who continued to punch each other.
