Protesters lock themselves to military ship over alleged arms delivery to Israel

Pro-Palestinian protestors seeking a ceasefire halted a US military ship’s departure in Oakland, California by locking themselves to the ship on Friday.

Activist coalitions claim the ship was set to deliver arms and military gear to Israel after being loaded in Tacoma, Washington.

The Arab Resource Organising Center in San Francisco organised the demonstration, where police were present. 

There were approximately 200 participants, many waving Palestinian flags and bearing signs calling for a halt to US military support to Israel, CBC News reported.
