Thousands attend pro-Israel demonstration in Encino

The march comes one day after a rally in support of Palestinians was held on Wilshire Boulevard in West Los Angeles.

Back-and-forth protests have taken place across the nation since Hamas militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns, killing hundreds and abducting others, including American citizens, in an unprecedented surprise attack.

Israel responded by declaring war with Hamas and launching airstrikes into Gaza.
