In this episode of the PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

We unpack a tense Christmas morning as US troops in Iraq faced a drone attack, prompting a forceful response against an Iraq-based militia. The latest in the tit-for-tat exchanges with Iranian-backed factions in the region.
 
Turning to the home front, we dive into the wave of major protests that swept through New York City and Washington DC. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators' chants of “Christmas is canceled” echoed as they clashed with law enforcement, resulting in multiple arrests.
