Hundreds gathered in Auckland's Aotea Square on Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil to mourn those who have died and been deeply affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Israeli group gathered peacefully in Aotea Square for prayers and to stand in solidarity with the victims of the conflict.
The emotional Auckland crowd were surrounded by a visible police presence throughout the vigil.
Israel's embassy in Washington said the death toll from the weekend Hamas attacks had surpassed 1,000, dwarfing all modern Islamist attacks on the West except for 9/11.
Meanwhile, Gaza's health ministry said Israel's retaliatory air strikes had killed at least 830 people and wounded 4,250. The strikes intensified on Tuesday night, shaking the ground and sending more columns of smoke and flames into the sky.
The United Nations said more than 180,000 Gazans had been made homeless, many huddling on streets or in schools.
