Footage circulating on social media of the protest showed multiple protesters on the scene repeatedly chanting "shame on you" as a vehicle leaving the property maneuvers past the crowd.
Just as the vehicle crosses the home's front gate, protesters were captured throwing what appears to be fake blood at Blinken's vehicle as it left the residence.
A group of protesters were captured throwing what appears to be fake blood toward a car leaving the home of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Protesters were demonstrating against the US support of Israel in the Gaza conflict.
