"Seattle Freeway Reopens After Protesters Demand Israel-Hamas Ceasefire"
In Seattle, protesters advocating for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict obstructed northbound traffic on Interstate 5 for several hours, causing significant delays. Demonstrators chanted for Palestinian freedom and against the occupation, with some waving Palestinian flags and holding signs. Seattle police issued a dispersal order, and the protest concluded as stormy weather set in. The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a high number of casualties, with international scrutiny of Israel's military actions increasing due to the substantial civilian death toll.
