A group of pro-Palestinian, anti-Democratic National Convention protesters confronted Chicago police Tuesday during what began as a rally outside the Israeli Consulate downtown.
Dozens gathered about 7 p.m. CT outside the consulate.
After several speeches, the group moved into the street and began to walk.
Some pro-Israel protesters could be seen, as well.
At one point, protesters confronted police and pushed through a CPD line.
The protest is not permitted by the city.

Several arrests were caught on camera, and riot police responded to the scene.
A group called Behind Enemy Lines organized the rally.
The organization said prior to the Democratic National Convention, they’ve had multiple protests, distributed pamphlets and organized others to stand with Palestinians and denounce the DNC.
Pro-Palestinian leaders representing Monday’s March on the DNC said they are not associated with Tuesday’s rally.
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling addressed the protest earlier Tuesday.
„Well, what I can tell you is you never know what to expect from a group like that, but, what I can tell you is what I expect from our side, what I expect from our Chicago police officers, who are going to be responding to that.
