BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tensions were high in Boca Raton on Thursday when demonstrators on both sides of the ongoing war involving Israel held a rally.
The protest was held along South Rogers Circle and involved dozens of people, who were pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian, lining the roadway on opposite sides.

Organizers in support of Palestine said they were rallying against a company in Boca Raton that they claim is profiting from the conflict.
Boca Raton police were also on hand during the demonstration.
Video from the scene showed at least one person being handcuffed by police.
The White House said Thursday that Israel has agreed to daily "humanitarian pauses" to the fighting in northern Gaza to allow civilians to flee the war zone.
