Demonstrators have blocked off entrances to Lockheed Martin's research campus in Sunnyvale, California, protesting the company's involvement in the conflict in Gaza. The protests, organized by Bay Area Palestine Solidarity, aim to highlight Lockheed Martin's role in the ongoing bombing of Gaza. During the demonstration, an incident occurred where a Lockheed Martin employee confronted protesters, accelerating his vehicle towards them, nearly running over a group lying down for a die-in, and subsequently brandishing a knife after being delayed from reaching work. The confrontation escalated when the employee threatened the protesters, shouting 'I gotta get to my job. Get out of the f****** road', who had been blocking the facility's entrances for about five hours. This series of events has drawn significant attention, underscoring the tensions surrounding the protest against Lockheed Martin's activities related to the Gaza conflict.
