Eight demonstrators were arrested outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Sept. 17 during a protest demanding that the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation terminate the leases of two tenants, Crye Precision and Easy Aerial, who protesters say supply Israel’s military with weapons used in its ongoing war with Gaza.
