A significant Pro-Palestine demonstration near the U.S. Capitol turned violent today as thousands of protesters clashed with law enforcement. DC Metro Police, along with Capitol Police and other agencies, donned riot gear and gas masks in response to the growing unrest.
The situation intensified as the crowd, chanting slogans and waving flags, attempted to advance toward the U.S. Capitol building. Police deployed pepper spray and established barricades to manage the crowd after protesters reportedly began throwing objects at officers.
Officials are urging the public to avoid the area as they continue to work to restore order and ensure the safety of all involved. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
