Pro-Palestinian protesters obstructed the entrances to John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport in New York and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), several media reported on Wednesday.

Multiple media outlets said that the demonstrators moved barricades onto the streets, impeding vehicle access, and also hurled cones and construction equipment at law enforcement officers.

The authorities responded by deploying helicopters and a significant Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and New York City Police Department (NYPD) presence. NY Port Authority Police was also seemingly making arrests.
