Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked a Chicago highway during rush hour, causing traffic delays.

On Monday morning, pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the Ohio Street exit off the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago, causing significant traffic delays during rush hour. The demonstration, organized by "Palestinian Youth and Allies," began around 8 a.m. and lasted until police intervened, reopening lanes by 9 a.m. The protest commemorated the anniversary of the October 7, 2021, Hamas attacks in Israel, which initiated the ongoing Gaza conflict.
