Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered in front of Israel's mission to the United Nations in New York to protest against the military action in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Protesters wearing traditional Palestinian head scarves faced the building chanting "stop bombing Lebanon and free Palestine", and waving signs from American Muslim groups.

Eman Tabbara is one of them.

"I am here to demonstrate against the crimes that are being committed against civilians and innocent people in Lebanon in only six or seven days."

The protestors have demanded Israel cease fire in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
