About 200 people have been arrested in Washington for protesting inside one of the buildings of the US Congress, according to Capitol police.
"About 200 people were arrested inside the offices of the House of Representatives," the police said in a statement.
Several hundred people protested in the building against the supply of weapons to Israel ahead of the upcoming visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel was attacked by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023. They entered the border areas, opened fire on military and civilians, and took more than 200 hostages. According to the authorities, about 1.2 thousand people were killed.
The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip, including strikes on civilian targets. Israel has announced a complete blockade of the enclave: Supplies of water, electricity, fuel, food and medicines were stopped. The Gaza Strip has actually been divided into southern and northern parts, and Israel is conducting a ground operation in Rafah, which is considered the last stronghold of Hamas.
