A row has broken out after Metropolitan Police officers were seen tearing down posters of those kidnapped in Israel in north London.
Two Met cops were seen removing the posters from the shutters of Cullimore Chemist in Edgware, north London, on Sunday evening. The posters were of hostages taken from Israel and currently being held captive by Hamas. The officers' actions have been slammed as 'disgusting' by some, though the Met has defended its officers, saying they were acting to prevent the 'escalation of tensions' in the area.
Both people who reported the posters to us were concerned that it would escalate an already tense situation.
