SAN FRANCISCO, United States (AA) - Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered Monday in San Francisco, California to demand an end to US support for Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.
Waving Palestinian flags, they chanted “Free, Free Palestine!”
They also held signs saying "Stop Arm$ for War Crime$," "Not Another Bomb," "Stop Arming Israel," "Veterans Demand Arms Embargo" and "End US Military Aid for Israel."
A group of demonstrators chained themselves outside the office of Senator Alex Padilla to demand an end US military aid for Israel.
Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since an attack last October by the Palestinian group Hamas, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
More than 43,600 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 102,900 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
