Pro-Palestine and pro-Israel demonstrators faced off Thursday in several skirmishes in New York City, even after Israel and Hamas implemented a ceasefire agreement following 11 days of firing rockets at one another in the Middle East.
In the Big Apple, fireworks were even set off in crowds amid clashes.
Israel reached on agreement with Hamas militants earlier in the day to begin a ceasefire at 2 a.m. Friday, which is 7 p.m. in New York City.
But scuffles continued in the city, with footage reportedly taken afterward showing what the NYPD initially speculated might have been a "smoke bomb" being thrown at a crowd of people in the Diamond District.
