Pro-Palestinian rally blocked traffic in Center City
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A pro-Palestinian rally disrupted traffic in Center City on Thursday afternoon.
Dozens of protestors blocked the intersection of 20th and Market Streets.
The Philadelphia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and local faith leaders led funeral prayers for civilians killed in Gaza to demand a cease-fire.
The rally was peaceful. There's no word on any arrests.
There have been several cease-fire rallies in Philly since the war between Israel and Hamas began.
Last week, protestors called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas outside of City Hall. Healthcare workers called the gathering the "Shut it down for Palestine" protest.
Earlier in November, hundreds of demonstrators rallied inside and outside 30th Street Station, which led to some people getting arrested.
