People who carry signs expressing support for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah are committing a 'criminal act', according to a minister. The Metropolitan Police made at least 17 arrests during Middle East conflict demonstrations in central London, with two people arrested on suspicion of showing support to a proscribed terror organisation. The force was 'aware' of social media posts showing people 'holding placards with messages of support for Hezbollah'. The protest followed Israel crossing the border into Lebanon to conduct 'limited, localised, and targeted ground raids' against Hezbollah.
