Met Police 'tear down posters of Hamas hostages' in bid to reduce tensions LONDON
Met Police officers have been pictured scraping posters of Israeli hostages snatched by Hamas gunmen from a shopfront in London.
The
image taken outside a shop believed to be in Edgware sparked outrage
after it appeared on social media on Sunday (October 29). A spokesperson
for the Met Police said the removal of the posters was to reduce
tensions in the area.
In the photo, the police can be seen peeling
away several kidnapped posters, which have appeared across the UK in
response to Hamas militants taking 239 hostages from Israel into Gaza during the group's shock attack on October 7.
X-user,
Adam Ma'anit, whose cousin Tsachi Idan is being held hostage in Gaza,
tweeted on Sunday: "Instead of arresting the mob chanting antisemitic
slogans today the @metpoliceuk are removing hostage posters from a place
in Edgware. WTF is going on in this country".
