At least tens of thousands of people gathered in the nation's capital on Saturday for one of the biggest pro-Palestinian protests in the U.S. since the Israeli bombardment of Gaza began in response to the attack by Hamas militants last month.
Protesters are pushing for a cease-fire in Gaza, where health officials say thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes.
The event, organized by several pro-Palestinian groups, began with an afternoon rally at Freedom Plaza, before crowds began a march in a loop past the White House a few blocks away.

The afternoon protest at Freedom Plaza, a short walk from the White House, was the most recent in a wave of demonstrations around the world seeking an end to Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, now in its 29th day, following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel that killed 1,400 people."...
