Protesters marching in support of Gaza burned flags outside of Philadelphia City Hall on July Fourth, according to video of the protest.

The Philly Palestine Coalition held a rally for Gaza in Rittenhouse Square earlier Thursday evening, urging attendees to “march in solidarity with the resistance and against this war machine.” It’s not clear if the two events were connected.

Philadelphia police had no immediate information on the incident or whether anyone had been arrested.
