One of the organisers Michael Lavalette told the Post that the “Preston for Palestine” event which was held at Flag Market this afternoon – was a response to Israel’s retaliation following the murder of more than 1,300 of its citizens in last Saturday’s attack by Hamas militants.
Take a look at some of the pictures from the rally.
