A mob of pro-Hamas demonstrators attempted to break into a hotel where Israeli tourists were staying in Athens, according to media reports and videos circulating on social media.
The anti-Israel protests against the war in Gaza escalated into riots, with some demonstrators attempting to breach the hotel premises.
Greek police were reportedly dispatched to the scene at Omonia Square, where they deployed gas grenades to disperse the crowd and restore order.
