REUTERS/Mike SegarPolice arrested more than 200 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had staged a sit-in outside the New York Stock Exchange on Monday to demand an end to US support for Israel's war in Gaza, authorities said. None of the protesters got inside the stock exchange but dozens crossed a police security fence set up outside its main building on Broad Street. Others chanted slogans against Israeli attacks in Lebanon, where Israel says it is waging war against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. There was also a much smaller number of pro-Israel counter protesters at the site, who carried Israeli flags. Israel's subsequent military assault on blockaded Gaza has killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians and displaced nearly the entire population, according to Gaza health officials.
