The protesters gathered on Tuesday at Athens’ central Syntagma Square before marching to the US Embassy while chanting anti-US slogans and carrying banners.

Some threw eggs in the direction of the US Embassy, and others burnt Israeli and US flags. Police vehicles barricaded access to the embassy and protesters left peacefully.
