People gather for United Jewish Appeal’s annual Walk With Israel event in Toronto, on Sunday, June 9, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Arlyn McAdoreyThousands of members of Toronto's Jewish community marched down a major city artery on Sunday as part of an annual pro-Israel event that unfolded amid heightened security and protests along the route.
Duelling chants of "free, free Palestine" and "bring them home" rang out when the groups crossed paths at the corner of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue and some heated exchanges occurred. Police officers formed barriers between the two groups and intervened in confrontations. "Walk with Israel" attendees also included some people whose family members were taken hostage by Hamas.
Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday that at least 274 Palestinians, including dozens of children, were killed, as part of that rescue operation."We know from the beginning that she's being held underground," she said, adding that her family is hoping for a "miracle.""You don't trade people ... they are not soldiers, they are civilians."
