The opening of Spain’s annual running of the bulls festival in Pamplona featured anti-Israel demonstrations, continuing a pattern that has become increasingly visible at the event in recent years.

Large crowds gathered for the festival’s traditional opening ceremony, known as the chupinazo, where anti-Israel slogans were shouted moments before the ceremonial fireworks were launched over Plaza Consistorial.

Representing the group Yala Nafarroa con Palestina, Dyna Kharrat addressed the crowd with the chants, “Stop genocide” and “Free Palestine.”
