The Campaign Against Antisemitism charity claims the Met Police pulled over vans it was running through central London which were broadcasting images of children taken hostage by Hamas.
In response, the Met said it took the actions it did to protect the van drivers and their property, with a vigil being held nearby in memory of those killed after a hospital was hit in Gaza.

00:39 We've been doing it this week and we're driving around London.
00:41 These are also kids who've been kidnapped by Hamas.
00:44 We're entitled to do it.
00:46 Well, where's your next direction?
00:48 Where are you heading?

01:40 They're entitled to do what they're doing.
01:42 Why are they being told to do that?

01:59 We haven't pulled them over.

02:01 Look, there's a police officer there who's told them to stop.
02:03 We've asked them to move into a different place.
