TEHRAN (defapress) - Pro-Palestinian activists broke into the Brooklyn Museum in New York and scuffled with police on Friday, protesting against Israel’s war in Gaza, which is nearing its ninth month.

People jumped security fences as they went inside the building and filled much of the lobby, where they unfurled large banners and chanted slogans. A banner placed atop the facade read, “Free Palestine, divest from genocide.” One person held a sign that said, “Save the children of Rafah,” referring to the southern Gazan city currently besieged by the Zionist Army.

A group of activists scuffled with police outside the museum. The officers eventually entered the lobby and made arrests.
