Pro-Palestinian protesters shut down the Bay Bridge near San Francisco, California, Thursday morning demanding a ceasefire of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Dozens of protesters carried signs that read "Stop the Genocide" and "No Military Aid to Israel" while chanting "ceasefire now" on the bridge connecting San Francisco to Oakland, halting traffic between the two cities, according to video footage of the protest posted to social media.
Some progressives have taken to protests to urge President Joe Biden to support a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Hamas on October 7, 2023, launched thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, taking more than 240 hostages, the country's military has said. Israel then launched rockets into Gaza, cutting off access to water, food and electricity into the territory. So far, at least 11,000 people in Gaza and 1,400 people in Israel have been killed in the conflict, according to the Associated Press.
