A photographer was assaulted by a Palestine Solidarity Committee protester on a pavement outside the United States Consulate in Killarney on Friday.

Financial Mail photographer Russell Roberts told Sapa that a protester demanded to know what organisation he was from and, when he failed to answer, threw a punch at him, hitting his camera.

Earlier, the Palestine Solidarity Committee said it was holding the protest in an effort to join the international call for Israel to immediately stop its assault on Gaza and the collective punishment of people of that territory.
