Activists Block Railway Tracks in Hamburg Over Arms Exports to Israel

A group of around 40 activists protested at the Port of Hamburg by chaining themselves to railway tracks to oppose the German government’s arms exports to Israel and highlight the suffering in Gaza. The demonstration blocked freight transport for several hours, during which a spokesperson condemned the Israeli government’s actions as genocide and criticized Germany’s complicity. Some port workers expressed support, while police ultimately removed the activists from the tracks. Safety measures included grounding overhead power lines during the protest.
