Pro-Israeli demonstrators gather outside the BBC headquarters in London, decrying the violence committed against the hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The rally comes as the Israel-Hamas war nears its fourth month after beginning on October 7, 2023, when a deadly Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli data. Some 250 people were also taken hostage during the attack, with 132 remaining in Gaza. The territory's Hamas-run health ministry says that Israel's military response has left at least 27,365 people dead. IMAGES
