The California Highway Patrol (CHP) warned that tactics used by pro-Palestinian demonstrators who blocked traffic and bridges on Monday “will not be tolerated.”

The highway patrol said that some 38 people were arrested after the incidents in which protesters blocked the Golden Gate Bridge and Interstate 880 in the Bay Area. Demonstrators at one point held up a sign that read, “Stop the world for Gaza,” attaching themselves to drums filled with concrete.
