Jakarta – Thousands of people from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) blocked the Bundaran HI traffic circle Sunday to peacefully protest the recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon, newsportal Detik.com reported.

The protesters unfurled and stepped on a large Israeli flag to show their strong disapproval of the attacks. Several activists from the National Mandate Party (PAN) also took part in the protest.

The crowd brought with them banners that read "Save Palestine" and posters depicting the flags of the United States, the European Union and Israel with the label "terrorists and Zionists" underneath.

The protest began early in the morning and ended around noon with no reported violence.
