SYDNEY, Oct 4 (Reuters) -
"Australian authorities said on Friday they would deploy more police personnel and tighten security measures ahead of pro-Palestine rallies in #Sydney and #Melbourne on Oct. 6, warning protesters there would be no tolerance of violence.

"The Israel-Hamas conflict has triggered protests from both Jewish and #Palestinian groups across the world, including in Australia, as the government raised concerns that the protests could inflame community tensions and disrupt social harmony.

"In Sydney, the #PalestineActionGroup has dropped its plans to hold a rally on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of Hamas staging the deadliest assault in Israel's history, which sparked Israel's war in Gaza.

"The pro-Palestine group will instead proceed with its rally on Sunday after reaching an agreement with police to change the location and route, and not display flags, portraits or symbols of prohibited organisations. It plans to hold a vigil on Monday."
