Group demanding ceasefire in Israel-Hamas war shuts down freeway in downtown SF

A group of protestors demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war shut down traffic on the Central Freeway in downtown San Francisco for about 90 minutes over the weekend, the California Highway Patrol said.

A large demonstration on city streets moved onto the freeway about 4 p.m. on Saturday, shutting down a quarter-mile section from the South Van Ness/Mission exit to the Octavia/Market exit, said CHP Officer Mark Andrews, a highway patrol spokesman.
