Pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Monday morning blocked off entrances to the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, as well as the Holland Tunnel, disrupting rush-hour traffic in Manhattan as they protested Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip and called for a cease-fire.
Shortly before 10 a.m., police officers at the Holland Tunnel told the protesters that they had two minutes to clear the area. Moments later, they began arresting some of them, binding their hands with zip ties, as onlookers chanted, Let Gaza live! Traffic resumed through the tunnel just after 10:30.
