Approximately 13 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating inside the Russell Senate Office Building on Thursday in Washington, D.C. (Martin Heina)
"We are Christians for cease-fire," they yelled.
According to U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), approximately 13 demonstrators were arrested.
WATCH PROTESTERS:
Authorities said that they first warned the protesters, who were seen waving signs that read, "Ceasefire Now," that they would be arrested if they did not stop demonstrating.
A majority of the protesters began filing out, but around 13 stayed behind and were promptly arrested by USCP.

Recent Fox News polling showed that support for Palestinians among Democrats has increased 17 points since October.
That shift among Democrats leads to a starker party divide now (43% siding with Israelis vs. 42% siding with Palestinians) than in October (59% vs. 25%).
Fox News has reached out to Rubio's office for comment.
