Violent clashes erupted in Bern, Switzerland, during an unauthorized anti-Israel rally that drew over 5,000 participants. Law enforcement officers faced repeated attacks with dangerous objects, resulting in injuries to 18 officers, four of whom required hospitalization. Police responded with force, deploying water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons to disperse the crowd. The unrest led to extensive property damage, including smashed shop windows, defaced facades, and heavily damaged police vehicles, with losses estimated in the millions of Swiss francs. Authorities detained 536 individuals, checking their identities and removing them from the area, with some facing charges related to rioting, property damage, and violence.
