As tensions flare in the Middle East over the Israel-Hamas war, pro-Palestinian rallies across multiple U.S. cities over the weekend unraveled into unrest and chaos. In Minneapolis, supporters at a pro-Palestine rally blocked traffic along the streets near a pedestrian bridge Sunday afternoon when police responded to multiple reports of disturbances, FOX9 Minneapolis reported. At some point, a vehicle drove through the crowd of protesters, police told the outlet.
Police said no injuries were reported in the incident. In Illinois, a gunshot was fired into the air, and a crowd was maced as a pro-Palestine rally faced off with an Israeli solidarity event in Skokie, according to local reports.
