A large group of anti-Israel protesters stormed the Brooklyn Museum on Friday evening, setting up an encampment during a significant demonstration. According to police sources, the intruders scaled the building and descended inside using climbing gear.

Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters gathered both inside and outside the Brooklyn Museum, marking another event in a series of city-wide protests that have disrupted major events, including the Thanksgiving Day Parade, over the past several months. Social media posts allegedly show the crowd heckling officers earlier today:

The demonstration appears to have been organized by the anti-Israel group “Within Our Lifetime,” which called on supporters to “flood the Brooklyn Museum for Gaza” on Friday. An online flier for the protest stated, “Activists are de-occupying the museum until they disclose and divest from the US-Israeli genocide.”

Several protesters were arrested, though the exact number remains unknown, according to police sources. This incident followed a city-wide walkout and demonstration by hundreds of New York public school students at the Department of Education headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
