Police, protesters clash outside Sydney defense expo; at least 10 arrested

At least 10 people have been arrested as police and protesters clashed outside a Sydney defense exposition, Australian police say.

About 100 protesters, including pro-Palestinian groups, gathered outside the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition in Darling Harbor.

Several Israeli companies are exhibiting at the defense conference.

Dozens of navy and coast guard chiefs, including from the United States, Japan, Philippines, Singapore and Pacific Islands, are attending the conference in Sydney which comes as Australia prepares to build a nuclear-powered submarine fleet with the US and Britain through the AUKUS partnership.
