PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- On Thursday evening, dozens gathered to protest in support of Palestinians caught in the Israel-Hamas war outside of Philadelphia City Hall. 

Healthcare workers called the gathering the "Shut it down for Palestine" protest.

Many of the demonstrators were lying on the ground and calling for a cease-fire in the Middle East.

The protest happened one week after hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station to call for a cease-fire.
