   As many as 200 pro-Palestine protesters were blocking security gates at   
   San Francisco International Airport on Wednesday morning, demanding a   
   permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war raging in Gaza.   
      
   Just before 8:45 a.m., two groups of protesters stood in front of the A   
   and G international gates at SFO. Linking arms, the protesters held   
   banners that read “Permanent Ceasefire,” “Stop Arming Israel” and “Stop   
   the World for Gaza” while other demonstrators beat drums.   
      
   Another group of protesters stood outside of the airport, holding red   
   signs that say “Stop bombing Gaza.” Car traffic was halted on the drop-off   
   loop outside of the International Terminal.   
      
   Police officers were standing near the protesters, but there were no signs   
   of arrests.   
      
   At 9:05 a.m., airport officials said on X that the International Terminal   
   remained open. “Passengers are being re-routed around the activity,” they   
   tweeted.   
      
   SFO recommended dropping off passengers at the Kiss and Fly lot at the   
   Rental Car Center and taking AirTrain to the International Terminal curb.   
   Passengers using Lyft, Uber or Taxis were advised to use the pickup and   
   drop-off locations at the domestic terminals, airport officials said.   
      
   A spokesperson for SFO did not immediately respond to the Chronicle’s   
   request for additional information.
