WESTLAKE, Ohio (WOIO) - Several Palestinian-American groups and their supporters protested outside Crocker Park in Westlake Friday night.
The groups are calling for an immediate end to the ongoing violence in the Middle East.
Police closed off the southbound lanes of Crocker Road to keep the demonstrators safe during the protest.
It ended around 8 pm; the road has since been reopened.
Another protest is planned for Sunday at Public Square in Cleveland.

After several meetings and much discussion, Kings Mountain City Council greenlighted a zoning change that will allow a 730-unit subdivision to be constructed on Kings Mountain Boulevard.
The action came after a public hearing Tuesday night. The unanimous vote means developer R.D. Harrell Co. can move ahead with the plan to create Cannon 35, a mixture of townhomes, apartments and a retirement community with entrances on Kings Mountain Boulevard, Crocker Road and north of Margrace Road.
Charles Stephens has lived on Crocker Road for 48 years. The 77-year-old man said no matter what the developer says about studies and plans, he’s concerned about the traffic and potential strain on schools such a large subdivision would bring.
Police stopped a vehicle on April 13 for an equipment violation as it pulled into the parking lot of the DoubleTree hotel on Clemens. The officer spotted evidence of drug use in the vehicle, according to a police statement.
A modest group of Kings Mountain residents vehemently opposed a 730-unit complex proposed during a City Council meeting earlier this week.
The development, Cannon 35, would include a mixture of townhomes, apartments and a retirement community off of Kings Mountain Boulevard.
During the Tuesday night meeting, developer R.D. Harrell Co. asked that zoning be changed to allow the 57-acre parcel to host the large development which would have entrances on Kings Mountain Boulevard, Crocker Road and north of Margrace Road.
Traffic concerns
The project was discussed for over nearly three hours of the four-hour meeting in which project managers, residents and City Council members discussed logistics and concerns.
