Hamas Sympathizers Storm US Senate Buildings.

Protestors supporting Hamas in Gaza stormed the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. The demonstrators, shouting “Free Palestine” and blowing whistles, marched about the building’s first-floor lobby in what was a chaotic scene.

The demonstrators unfurled several large banners in front of the flat, black, brutalist sculpture meant to represent five mountains in the center of the Hart building’s lobby. The banners read “Fund Jobs. Not Genocide,” “Fund Education. Not Genocide,” and “Fund Healthcare. Not Genocide.”

Shortly after the banners were unfurled, U.S. Capitol Police officers confiscated the materials. However, protestors who had ascended to other levels of the building began unfurling additional banners, which dropped down the walls of the lobby’s interior. It is unclear whether the U.S. Capitol Police made any arrests, though some protestors in the video of the scene appear to be resisting efforts by the officers to confiscate banners and signs.

Late last year, following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, demonstrators were arrested after attempting to occupy the Cannon House Office Building lobby. This incident was followed up by several other pro-Hamas demonstrations on the National Mall and one in front of Union Station that saw an American flag burned.
