On Monday, a group of grassroots activists launched a disruption at a weapons manufacturing plant for RTX, formerly known as Raytheon, in protest against US arms being sent to Israel as it bombs Gaza.

Fifty protesters gathered for hours in the cold in Vergennes, Vermont, to prevent workers from entering the RTX plant.

Here are some photos from the protest that the demonstrators shared with Middle East Eye.
