Brussels, May 30 (RHC)-- Police in Belgium have fired tear gas and water cannon for a second day to disperse an anti-war protest in front of the Israeli embassy in the country’s capital, Brussels, according to videos posted online.

The live footage, broadcast by the European Palestinian Media Centre (EPMC) and verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency, showed dozens of young people chanting “Intifada” as police in riot gear blocked their path towards the Israeli diplomatic mission.

Other videos, posted by the EPMC as well as the Russian Sputnik agency, showed the protesters running for cover after police deployed tear gas and water cannon.

The Brussels Times reported a similar crackdown on Tuesday, when hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Israeli mission, chanting: “Enough is enough, resistance is justified”.  

The news outlet said one protester who was struck in the face by a police baton required medical treatment.
