Supporters of Palestine, Israel Fight in the United States

Supporters of Israel and Palestine gathered in cities throughout the United States after Israel declared war on Hamas after a surprise attack on Israel by the militant group early Saturday morning.

After large groups of Palestinian and Israeli supporters gathered in Times Square, during which there was a verbal clash, a physical clash erupted amid opposing protesters near the United Nations building in New York.

Meanwhile, American Palestinians protested in front of Israeli consulates in Atlanta and Chicago and California, while Israeli supporters gathered.

Protests by pro-Palestinian and pro-Israelist groups were held in Washington, where physical clashes occurred between the two groups of protesters.

And Hamas' attack on Israel's territory has alarmed the authorities of various parts of the world, which increased police presence in Jewish religious objects.
