From Fox News: Anti-Israel protests are turning ugly outside of the Democratic National Convention as activists are becoming increasingly aggressive outside the perimeter.
Protesters, wielding signs protesting U.S. support of Israel, were throwing water bottles at police and shaking the fence at the perimeter.
Other protesters were seen hanging off the fence of the security perimeter.
A Fox News reporter heard one officer say “we’ve got to get gas” and officers then put masks on.
Multiple reporters on the ground have posted videos on social media as the wild melee has turned violent, and the pro-Hamas protesters have broken down fences meant to keep them out.
“BREAKING: Fencing being taken down at the security perimeter around the DNC in Chicago,” wrote Brendan Gutenschwager.
