Arrests and Demands: Protests at Capitol Hill Over Israel-Hamas Conflict

TL;DR
Over 300 people were arrested by Capitol Police during a large-scale demonstration at the U.S. Capitol complex, where protesters gathered to call for an end to the Israel-Hamas war. The demonstration, organized by a left-wing Jewish group, saw some protesters entering the Cannon House Office Building and assembling in the rotunda. This follows a similar event at the White House earlier in the week. Police departments from surrounding areas were called in to assist, and some lawmakers criticized the demonstrators.
