<p>US protestors early Thursday morning blocked the entrance to
Raytheon’s facility in Portsmouth in protest of weapon sales to Israel.</p>
<p>Members of the FANG Collective, a Pawtucket-based group that
organized the protest, along with Resist and Abolish the Military
Industrial Complex (RAM INC), said that they were protesting Raytheon’s
weapon sales to Israel, among others.</p>

<p>The protest saw several people chaining themselves to cars to block
the front gate and others holding banners and chanting slogans.</p>
<p>FANG said in a press statement that they shut down all vehicle
entrances to Raytheon’s facility as two people attached themselves to
vehicles that were blocking the main entrance to the facility.</p>
<p>Police said that they called the Portsmouth Fire Department to
release the two men after they refused to do so themselves. The two men
were eventually arrested.</p>

<p>FANG pointed in the statement to a 2018 CNN report revealing that
Raytheon, the largest producer of guided missiles in the world and the
second-largest military contractor, has sold billions of dollars of
weapons to Israel, among others, used to kill civilians in Palestine.</p>
