Demonstrators seeking a cease-fire in Gaza blocked traffic on the Boston University bridge during rush hour Thursday morning, stopping traffic for more than two hours.
The group of about 100 people chanted “Cease-fire now!” and held a banner with the words “Jews say: ceasefire now" during the protest amid an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza that followed Hamas-led attacks in Israel on Oct. 7. Demonstrators also held signs that said, “Let Gaza Live.” The bridge connects Boston and Cambridge.
