This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Metropolitan Police earlier said certain areas of central London were covered by a Section 60AA power, which requires a person to remove items such as masks that might be used to conceal their identity, until 22:00 BST.
Earlier this week, Home Secretary Suella Braverman urged police chiefs to consider whether the slogan should be interpreted as an “expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world”, possibly making it a “racially aggravated” public order offence in some contexts.
Describing the march as a “day of solidarity”, the now-independent MP said: “If you believe in international law, if you believe in human rights, then you must condemn what is happening now in Gaza by the Israeli army.”
In a social media post later on Saturday, activist group Palestine Action claimed responsibility for daubing the building in “blood red paint, symbolising their complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people through biased reporting”.
On Friday Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor told a press briefing there had been a “massive increase” in antisemitic incidents in London since the Hamas attacks.
Orly Goldschmidt, spokeswoman for the Israeli Embassy to the UK, said Israel was not targeting civilians but told Times Radio: “There will be innocent people who will pay tragically with their life, but this is a state of war and we have to prevent anyone from harming us again.”
The original article contains 810 words, the summary contains 232 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Some beautiful scenes from that march. Muslims and Jews protesting together to end the genocide.
As for Israel saying they’re not targeting civilians, bollocks. They told north Gaza to evacuate, most stayed in their homes, the few that actually left were queue in lorries, cars and ambulances. Israel bombed them. Fucking disgusting. They tricked them and now they’re bombing the south anyway

How would people even effectively or even know to evacuate when Israel cut off electricity?

I think Israel sent a tone of leaflets and I’d guess word of such a thing would spread quickly.

Leaflet drops

I have no idea, but they got the information. I know that all the hospitals have generators so perhaps the civilians do also.
Journalists and people are managing to record and document what is happening inside Gaza, so they would have received the information online.

I don’t believe Israel bombed those fleeing South. There is one video of a car exploding, but that explosion is believed to come from within the vehicle and not from a missile.
