Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.
New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov was arrested for criminal possession of a firearm after showing up armed at a pro-Palestinian protest. Vernikov, a Republican, turned herself in Friday morning and was released with a court date, a New York City Police Department spokesperson said.
Vernikov didn’t menace anyone with the handgun, the spokesperson said. Vernikov, who is Jewish and has criticized pro-Palestinian protestors, was at the demonstration at Brooklyn College on Thursday and documented it on social media. She said in a statement ahead of the rally that any student that didn’t feel safe could approach her and she would help them. Vernikov didn’t respond to a request for comment Friday.
