STORYLINE:
Pro-Palestinian protesters on Saturday amassed in Barcelona's Estació de França train station, demanding Israel halt military action in the Gaza Strip.

Once police came, the protesters were dispersed, and carried on protesting outside the station.

Following Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel, in which at least 1,200 people were killed, Israel's allies have defended the country's right to protect itself.

But now into the second month of war, there are growing differences in how many feel Israel should conduct its fight.

More than 11,070 Palestinians, two-thirds of them women and minors, have been killed since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza, which does not differentiate between civilian and militant deaths.

The ministry is the only official source for Gaza casualties. In previous wars, the ministry's counts have held up to U.N. scrutiny, independent investigations and even Israel's tallies.

About 2,700 people have been reported missing and are thought to be possibly trapped or dead under the rubble.

At least 1,200 people have been killed in Israel, mainly in the initial Hamas attack, Israeli officials say. The military on Saturday confirmed the deaths of five reserve soldiers; 46 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the ground offensive began.

Nearly 240 people abducted by Hamas from Israel remain captive.
