A leftist climate group protesting the Israel–Hamas war briefly disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, gluing themselves to the route on Thursday.

The annual Manhattan parade, a tradition to mark the start of the holiday season, was briefly disrupted when protesters from the Seven Circles Alliance climbed over the barriers and briefly blocked the procession.
