San Francisco police arrested about a dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators who occupied the downtown building that houses the Israeli consulate in the US city, according to Al Jazeera.

A group of protesters entered and occupied it for several hours on Monday. The demonstrators posted signs on the front doors of the building calling for an end to the Israeli war on Gaza.

Photos and videos that the demonstrators posted on social media showed people sitting in a circle and chanting “Free, free Palestine!”
