More than 200 demonstrators occupied the lobby of U.S. Senator Alex Padilla’s office in downtown San Francisco on Wednesday, demanding that the California Democrat oppose any additional U.S. military assistance to Israel and press for unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza. The sit-in, organised by Jewish Voice for Peace and other Jewish-led groups, began shortly after noon and featured banners reading “Stop Arming Israel, Send Aid Not Bombs.” San Francisco police eventually entered the federal building and detained several protesters after repeated warnings to disperse.
