Protesters block 110 Freeway in downtown L.A. demanding cease-fire in Gaza
A group of protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war brought traffic to a halt on the 110 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday morning. A group called IfNotNow, which described itself as a movement of American Jews supporting the end of U.S. support for Israel's war on Gaza, claimed responsibility for the protest, which began around 9:30 a.m.
Sky5 news helicopter footage showed the demonstrators sitting in the southbound lanes of the freeway near 3rd Street behind a banner reading, “Permanent Ceasefire: Equality, Justice, Safety For All.” A large Jewish Hanukia, or Menorah, had also been placed on the freeway.
