San Francisco police arrested about 70 pro-Hamas rioters on Monday on trespassing charges after they “occupied” the lobby of the building housing the Israeli consulate.
“Officers developed probable cause to arrest 70 suspects who refused to vacate the building,” police said in a statement.
No injuries were reported.
Prior to the arrests, the rioters occupied the building for several hours.

Since a consulate is legally the territory of the foreign country, ?? could have & quite frankly should have shot them dead in name of personal safety
No saben lo que est�n haciendo. Son totalmente ignorantes sobre el Medio Oriente y la historia de la regi�n. �Por qu� no se amotinan por los m�s de 600.000 sirios que fueron asesinados por su propio gobierno? �Por qu� no protestan por los miles de iran�es que fueron ejecutados por el malvado gobierno de Ir�n?
1. A consulate is NOT legally extraterritorial.
2. In any case, they never set foot in the consulate. They confined their trespass to the lobby of the building.
