00:03 In a significant escalation of protest,

00:29 clashes erupted in the Mexico City

00:31 on Tuesday as demonstrators rallied against the ongoing war

00:35 in Gaza.

00:36 The urgent action for Rafa demonstration,

00:38 which drew about 200 people, took place

00:41 outside the Israeli embassy in the city of Namaz

00:44 de Chapultepec neighborhood.

00:46 The protest was sparked by the recent Israeli military actions

00:49 in Gaza, particularly the deadly bombing of a displacement

00:53 camp outside Rafa on Sunday.

00:56 Tensions flared when some protesters attempted

00:59 to break through barriers set up to prevent them from reaching

01:03 Israeli diplomatic mission.

01:05 Protesters, with their faces covered,

01:07 hurled stones at the riot police, who blocked

01:10 their path to the complex.

01:12 The police responded with tear gas

01:14 and returned the stones thrown at them,

01:16 resulting in a violent confrontation.

01:19 However, the demonstration turned even more chaotic

01:22 as angry protesters set fire to the Israeli embassy

01:25 using Molotov cocktails, expressing their outrage

01:29 over what they termed as ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

01:33 The protesters' attempt to dismantle the barriers

01:36 and their subsequent clash with law enforcement

01:39 led to unverified reports of several injuries.

01:42 The protests in Mexico City were part

01:44 of a global wave of demonstrations

01:46 following Sunday evening's Israeli airstrike

01:48 on a refugee camp in Rafa.

01:51 Palestinian officials reported that the attack killed 45

01:54 people and sparked a massive fire,

01:56 raising international outrage and calls for justice.

02:00 Mexico also joined the international condemnation

02:02 by filing an intervention declaration

02:04 at the International Court of Justice in South Africa's case,

02:07 accusing Israel of genocide.

02:10 This legal move highlights the increasing pressure on Israel

02:13 from the international community.

02:15 Similar protests erupted worldwide in response

02:17 to the Rafa bombing, which was perceived as a brutal attack

02:20 on a designated safe zone.

02:22 The bombing, which killed at least 50 people,

02:25 according to various reports, has intensified

02:27 the global outcry against Israeli military actions

02:29 in Gaza.

02:30 Israeli Minister of Military Affairs Yov Galant

02:33 also announced on Sunday that the IDF will continue

02:36 the military operations in Rafa, further fueling

02:38 the anger and protest.

02:40 The ongoing war has seen numerous casualties

02:43 and widespread destruction, drawing sharp criticism

02:46 from worldwide and calling for ceasefire

02:49 from humanitarian organizations and governments

02:51 around the world.

02:53 As the situation continues to evolve,

02:55 the protests in Mexico City and elsewhere

02:57 highlight the deepening global solidarity

02:59 with Palestinian cause and the urgent calls for an end

03:03 to the violence in Gaza.
