STORYLINE:
Hundreds of conservative Muslims marched to the heavily guarded US Embassy in Indonesia's capital on Wednesday to protest against America's staunch support of Israel and to demand an end to Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Waving white flags bearing the Islamic declaration of faith along with Palestinian flags and signs that read "Free Palestine," more than 500 pro-Palestinian protesters, many wearing white Islamic robes, gathered along a major street in Jakarta that runs outside the embassy.
More than 1,000 police were deployed in and around the building barricaded with razor wire.
The protesters chanted "God is Great" and "Save Palestinians" as they marched.
Their banners and placards slammed the airstrikes in Gaza and denounced America's support of Israel.
Some protesters showed their anger by burning US and Israeli flags.
Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim majority nation, does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel and does not have an Israeli embassy.
