Pro-Palestinian protesters in New York City targeted major transit hubs, including Grand Central, Port Authority Bus Terminal, and Penn Station, as the Israel-Hamas war continued in Gaza. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Grand Central, later taking to the streets and blocking traffic in Midtown. Some protesters entered Penn Station, waving Palestinian flags and banners. Actor Alec Baldwin was seen among the protesters, and the demonstrations appeared to be peaceful.
