"Stop Killing Palestinian Children!": Activists Disrupt Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin Hearing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, activists disrupted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as
he spoke at a House Armed Services Committee meeting Wednesday. Among
the protesters was Naseebah Hajjaj, a Palestinian American woman who has
lost some 20 relatives in Gaza since October 7. She held up her
16-month-old son Hamza during the hearing.
