Amid growing outrage over the death of a Jewish man following an altercation at a protest over the Israel-Hamas war, southern California police called for calm as they investigate the incident.
Paul Kessler, 69, died on Monday from a head injury sustained at pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Thousand Oaks, a suburb north-west of Los Angeles, authorities said. Witnesses reported that Kessler was in the middle of a confrontation with protesters when he fell and hit his head, authorities said.
