BOSTON — Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Boston and Cambridge on Sunday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza as Israel-Hamas war continues.
Pro-Palestinian groups marched from Copley Square down Newbury Street and continued over the Mass. Ave. Bridge into Cambridge shutting down several streets. The group passed through with flags and signs that described Israel’s military campaign as “genocide.”
Boston South Asian Coalition were among the groups leading the march and could be heard screaming, “From the sea to the River. Palestine will live forever. End the Occupation Now. End the siege of Gaza Now.”

At least 1,200 people have been killed on the Israeli side, mostly civilians killed in the initial Hamas attack. Forty-six Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the ground offensive began.
For the second time in four days, U.S. military forces carried out airstrikes against facilities in eastern Syria linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, officials said Sunday.
