“Police are arresting protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace Philly, dragging people out of the lobby of D&Z where we gathered to say: NO PROFIT FROM GENOCIDE,” wrote the advocacy organization Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Philly on Wednesday morning.

A security guard for the building from Allied Universal confirmed the arrests but could not distinguish the Jewish advocacy organization from the Philadelphia chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which has loudly called attention to Day & Zimmermann’s provision of artillery shells to the Israeli military for the past five Tuesday mornings. Roughly 6:30 - 8:30 a.m. each Tuesday, protestors have repeatedly chanted “Quit your job!” while beating makeshift Home Depot-bucket drums and shaking tamberines as workers walked through the back entrance of Day & Zimmermann’s Philadelphia headquarters at 1500 Spring Garden St.

Much of the controversy surrounding Day & Zimmermann stems from its alleged production of 120mm M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) rounds used by an Israeli Merkava battle tank in the January 29, 2024 killing of the five-year-old Paleestinian girl Hind Rajab and her six family members. According to an investigation from the Quaker organization American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), which received a Nobel Peace Prize in 1947, “The serial number on an exploded round found inside the ambulance sent to rescue Rajab suggests that it was manufactured at the [Iowa Army Ammunition Plant] by [Day & Zimmermann subsidiary] Mason & Hanger in November 1996.”
