78 arrests and seven injured police officers during the operation
Images reminiscent of a real battle include a video posted on TikTok of what the squatters did at the "Refugee" in order to block the police officers involved in the ELAS search operation on Tuesday.
The footage shows members of the OMKE attempting to enter the "Refugees" on Alexandra Avenue with their shields raised as they are "rained on" by stones, iron bars and even entire doors which the anarchists used as weapons to block them.

The squatters had climbed to the roof of a building and from there they "bombed" the OPKE platoon with everything they had in their hands.
Finally, the strong police forces that had cordoned off the area managed to enter the building and reach the roof, making arrests.
According to the statement of the ELAS after the completion of the operation, during which the perpetrator of the arson attack against the offices of the Real Group was arrested, 78 people were arrested and during the operation seven policemen were injured, two of them seriously.
It should be noted that according to information, the 27-year-old man who was arrested is a member of the anti-authoritarian movement and, in addition to the fire at the Real offices, he is alleged to have carried out arson attacks on cars.
The arrested man is said to have been staying at "Refugees" for the last two months, as it is estimated that he was trying to hide, having suspected that the police are on his trail and are looking for him.
