ATLANTA, Georgia (WANF) — Eight people have been arrested during what police described as a pro-Palestine cease-fire demonstration in Buckhead Friday.

It comes after Israeli officials said they reached a hostage agreement with Hamas which led to the release of 39 Palestinian prisoners and 24 Israeli citizens.

“APD continues to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of shoppers, visitors, and demonstrators, and to uphold the law and protect the right to free speech,” the police department said in a statement.
