More than 100 Prince Albert residents participated in an organized protest for Palestine on Saturday afternoon.

Protesters lined the intersection of Marquis Road and 2nd Ave. W near McDonald’s in a show of support of the Palestinian people and the Gaza Strip as the Israel–Hamas war eclipsed the six-month mark on Sunday.

Participants were seen holding signs, waving Palestinian flags, and were heard chanting phrases as some passing traffic honked their horns in support.
