Hundreds of anti-Israel demonstrations continued for a third straight night in Chicago as the Democratic National Convention (DNC) proceeded just miles away at the United Center arena. 

Protesters, many decked out in keffiyehs, assembled in larger numbers than Tuesday, marching down Maypole Avenue along Park 578 waving flags and banners, including a massive one that read, "Biden, Harris You Will See! Palestine Will Be Free!" along with "End U.S. Aid To Israel" and "Stop Genocide."

A leader of the march shouted into a megaphone, "DNC your hands are red!" prompting a callback from the crowd. 

Fox News' Paul Mauro, who was at the scene, described the early evening demonstrations as "peaceful but very boisterous."

"Definitely the largest we've seen. In fact, it's so large there are three separate bullhorns going at the length of about three or four city blocks, probably about a half a mile," Mauro said.

Later, police directed marchers to head back to the park where the demonstration began.

The demonstrations happened just a few miles down the road from the United Center, which on Wednesday was set to feature former President Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Chicago police confirmed Wednesday that 56 protesters were arrested the previous day after violent clashes with police.

The confrontation happened outside a building housing the Israeli Consulate about two miles from the United Center.

Chicago police said one person was charged with a felony for resisting an officer. Nine others were charged with misdemeanors, including disorderly conduct, resisting a police officer, battery, assault and criminal damage to property, police said. Thirty of the people detained by police were issued citations for disorderly conduct.

Two men were handcuffed and firearms in their vehicles were confiscated after a "safe and uneventful" Trump rally in Asheboro, North Carolina.

The suspect, Robert Castona Jr., was cited for NC General Statute 14-277.2, titled "Weapons at Parades, etc., prohibited" for displaying a weapon within his vehicle.

The 79-year-old was allegedly involved in a road rage incident according to Asheboro PD, but "made no threats to assault anyone."

In an earlier post on Facebook, the Asheboro Police Department shared a laundry list of prohibited items at the event, including drones and other unmanned aircraft systems, explosives, and firearms.

"Upon further investigation, officers determined that during an apparent road rage incident, and although a weapon was displayed from within a vehicle, it was not pointed at anyone," read an Asheboro Police press release shared with Fox News Digital.

"With these facts known, the elements were not met for any violation of North Carolina General Statutes related to typical weapons offenses, assault offenses, or the State’s communicating threats offense."

According to police, the "incident took place away from the event site, after the event concluded and as attendees were leaving."

Officers who were assisting the Secret Service in monitoring the rally "immediately detained the subject" and began investigating the incident, despite "rumors" that 79-year-old Castona Jr. had threatened someone at gunpoint.
