"Protesters Demand Gaza Cease-Fire, Paralyze Hollywood and Highland Intersection"

Hundreds of protesters shut down a major intersection in Hollywood, calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. The LAPD closed off streets and urged drivers to avoid the area. Some protesters wore sweatshirts with the message "JEWS SAY CEASE FIRE NOW." The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow, aimed to be one of the largest acts of civil disobedience in Los Angeles. In Washington, D.C., protesters outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters also called for a cease-fire, leading to the evacuation of members of Congress.
