Sydney Defence Expo Protest: Eight Arrested Amid Clashes Between Protesters and Police

Eight people were arrested during a protest outside the Sydney International Convention Centre, where a defence expo was being held. Demonstrators from Palestine Action Group clashed with police as they protested against Israeli defence contractors Rafael Advance Systems and Elbit Systems, who are exhibitors at the event. Police deployed pepper spray multiple times to disperse the crowd. NSW Premier Chris Minns defended the event, saying defence exports are vital to the state's economy.
