33 Arrested in Protest Against Military Subcontractor in Niles

Protesters demand an end to the company's involvement in the Israel-Hamas war, citing the use of its missile control systems in Gaza.

Over 100 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside Woodward Inc. in Niles, demanding the company sever ties with Boeing over its role in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The demonstration led to the arrest of 33 individuals who blocked traffic with a unique method of binding themselves together.
Activists highlight the human cost of the conflict, with over 27,000 Palestinians dead, urging Woodward to halt its production of missile control actuation systems.
Police from multiple departments were present at the scene, where protesters used symbols and banners to emphasize their message against the manufacturing of weapons.
The protest aims to raise awareness of the local production of military components used in the conflict and to pressure Woodward Inc. to end its contracts with Boeing.
