Protesters set an Israeli flag on fire and chanted, “Long live the intifada” outside the Democratic convention site on Tuesday night.

A woman wearing a black bandanna on her face lit the flag on fire Tuesday night as protests continued outside of the secure zone around the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Someone stood nearby waving a Palestinian flag.
