Five Arrested In Gaza Arms Shipment Protest At Travis Air Force Base
Five people were arrested for blocking the north entrance to Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield while protesting Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza on Thursday morning.
Eight protesters stretched a banner across the narrow two lane road at about 9:00 a.m., holding back a line of commuters headed to the base that grew quickly with the morning traffic. “Travis Air Force Base is providing transport planes to bring weapons to Israel,” said protester Fred Bialy, one of the five who was arrested for blocking the road. “I feel it’s important to alert people who work at Travis so they know that the base is facilitating a genocide of people in Gaza by transporting those weapons.”
