Two women who wore images of paragliders on their backs during yesterday’s protest for Palestinians are now being sought by London police.

The women, who wore red and black jackets, are being asked to come forward as part of an investigation into a potential public order offence.

The images may be a reference to Hamas storming into Israel on motorised paragliders during a surprise attack last weekend.

Hundreds of Israelis were killed, including 260 people at a music festival.

Anyone who recognises the pair is being asked to contact officers on 101.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s protests, the Met Police’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said: “People do not have the right to incite violence or hatred. The law is clear that support for proscribed organisations is illegal.

“Anyone with a flag in support of Hamas or any other proscribed terrorist organisation will be arrested. We will not tolerate the celebration of terrorism or death, or tolerate anyone inciting violence.

“We have seen behaviours this week that are unacceptable. They are hateful and there is no place for that in London.”
