Fort Lauderdale—A pro-Israel rally in Florida turned violent when several pro-Palestinian protestors were confronted by a large group of flag-waving pro-Israel supporters in response to the terror attack in Israel that has left 700+ Israelis and tourists dead.

Punches were thrown and there was very little Fort Lauderdale Police officers could do but try to break up the scuffle by deploying pepper spray.

The Palestinian supporters, which numbered about two dozen in the end, faced off with about 100 pro-Israel supporters. The melee spilled in the street, blocking traffic, and forcing police to block off Fort Lauderdale’s busiest intersection.

The initial incident occurred when 3 Palestinian supporters were first confronted by a group of about 4-5 Israeli supporters. That scuffle then grew exponentially when other rally attendees realized that there were protesters standing about 300 feet across the street from them

Police did the best they could to contain the chaos and had to deploy crowd control officers wearing full riot.

No less than 50 police officers descended on the corner of Sunrise Blvd and Federal Highway.

One of the Palestinian protesters demanded to be shown proof that innocent women and children were killed by Hamas terrorists.

Another protestor, who was involved in the actual fight, stated, “We have already won” in reference to Israel’s response to the Hamas terror attack.
