Pro-Palestine rally impacts traffic along Market Street in Center City
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A group of protesters gathered outside City Hall Friday afternoon and evening and marched throughout Philadelphia.
The group started marching east on Market Street.
The pro-Palestine rally, which initially gathered near Dilworth Park and disrupted traffic near 15th and Market, is the second to impact traffic this week. On Thursday, Nov. 16, dozens of protesters blocked the intersection of 20th and Market Streets.
Earlier this month, demonstrators lay on the ground while calling for a cease-fire in the Middle East, and on Nov. 3, hundreds of people rallied at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. Dozens were arrested as a result.
The group Philly Palestine Coalition posted about Friday's rally on Instagram, calling on supporters to meet at City Hall at 3:30 p.m.
The protest remained peaceful as there were no reports of any arrests.
