Police detained dozens of protesters in New York City Monday during demonstrations demanding a halt to U.S. arms sales and military support to Israel.
Demonstrators included the anti-war group Jewish Voice for Peace, which said around 90 people were detained. Among those detained was whistleblower Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army soldier and WikiLeaks source.
The New York City Police Department said there were "multiple" arrests but did not provide a number.
Clips from the protests showed a crowd gathering near the offices of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democratic colleague, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
Protesters chanted slogans like "stop the bombs," "end the killings," and "free Palestine" while expressing opposition to the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Israel's attacks in Lebanon and Israel's assault on Gaza.
