In a coordinated effort, pro-Palestinian protesters have targeted companies involved with Israeli arms sales in two major cities. In London, demonstrators gathered outside the Barclays building, urging the bank to divest from Israeli arms sales. Concurrently, in Chicago, protesters have caused a significant disruption by shutting down Woodward, a weapons manufacturer known for supplying systems for Boeing bombs. These bombs are currently being used in Gaza by Israeli aircraft, which is alleged to have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. The protests in Chicago led to the arrest of thirty-three individuals after they blocked traffic near Woodward's facility in Niles for over six hours.
