Anti-Israel agitators have been arrested near Disney World after causing a traffic nightmare

Florida police arrested three anti-Israel agitators Saturday afternoon after they blocked traffic on Interstate 4 near Walt Disney World.

FOX 35 in Orlando reported that Florida Highway Patrol troopers were on scene and found three women holding “Free Palestine” signs while blocking traffic in the westbound lanes of Interstate 4 at Exit 67.

The three women – 26-year-old Isabella Giannosa; 24-year-old My Truong; and 24-year-old Jenni Nguyen – were taken into custody and arrested before being taken to the Orange County Jail and charged with disobeying a law enforcement officer.

After the incident, police discovered two vehicles parked on the highway slip road, which were then towed from the scene.
