Protests over Gaza war escalate in Melbourne: Clashes at military expo

Protests against Israel's war on Gaza continue to escalate in Melbourne, where activists have clashed with police outside a three-day defense and weapons exhibition. The exhibition, held in the southeastern city, saw the deployment of 1,800 police officers after violence erupted between protesters and law enforcement. Demonstrators voiced strong opposition to the ongoing war, and the event’s final day was marked by further unrest. The protests have drawn significant attention to the global outcry over the conflict, particularly among Australian activists.
