Protests erupt at Democratic National Convention over Gaza war

On the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, thousands protested against the Gaza war, calling for a ceasefire. Some demonstrators breached a police fence, leading to a few arrests. Protesters criticized President Biden for recent military aid to Israel. While organizers expected 20,000 attendees, only a few thousand participated. Tensions were noted with a small pro-Israel group present, but no major clashes occurred.
