heather holmes. we begin with the developing situation tonight near the uc berkeley campus, where protesters have now set up a new encampment. protesters this afternoon broke into a vacant building owned by the university off campus, and spray painted messages over the windows. this is all happening at the former anna head school there on channing and bowdich streets. these are different activists than the ones who cleared out a sproul plaza yesterday. police are nearby and monitoring the situation. student protesters at san francisco state university say they have agreed to. they have reached an agreement with the school's president on the issue of gaza. the protesters started camping out on campus two weeks ago. they say the agreement addresses their concerns about the university's investments. in a statement, the school's president said that we will support the addition of a human rights based investment strategy , including divesting from direct investments in weapons manufacturers. stewart organizers say this is only the

beginning. >> so what we're working towards now that we've gotten this first, really important first step here at our campus, is organizing with students at all of the different csus to come together, go to the board of trustees meeting and make that change on a more systemic level. >> student organizers have already begun to dismantle the encampment here, but they say they will continue to keep a daytime presence for many palestinians here in the bay area. seeing the civilian deaths from the war is deeply personal, and today is especially difficult. coming on the 76th anniversary of the 1948 israeli arab war, which forced hundreds of thousands of palestinians to flee from their homes in what they call nakba or catastrophe. ktvu jana katsuyama spoke with local palestinian families and joins us now live with their stories. jana. >> heather. so many people here in the bay area say they have lost dozens, even hundreds of family members. and one person i

spoke with, dana elcar, is a high school student in san francisco who says there have been so many deaths, she hasn't even had time to grieve. >> it was like i finally felt like i was at home. it was a feeling i've never felt before. >> it was just last summer and dana elcar says she was so excited, taking her first trip to see her family's ancestral home in gaza and meeting her relatives. >> i've met so much family, and it was so nice because it was like they all knew me and it's just so many cousins, aunts, uncle memories captured in this 15 year old's photos of places. >> now gone. >> over 100 people in our family have been killed. >> as news reports tally, palestinian deaths in the tens of thousands, according to gaza officials, the pain here is personal. >> it's hard, but i feel like speaking for myself and i feel like a lot of other palestinians i know, it's almost like we haven't really had time to fully grieve, because we're still kind

of trying to explain to people what's going on and trying to spread awareness and trying to get it to stop, because as we're grieving, more and more things continue to happen. >> heartache like nothing. this 15 year old ever faced before. >> i'm shutting off that part of my brain because my focus right now is spreading awareness and kind of letting people know what's happening. before i let myself kind of feel. and yeah, and i think the youngest person in our family that was killed was four months old, like a baby . >> dana's mother, doctor manal, says relatives are now refugees. >> they were all forced to flee and all of them have lost their homes. we don't know of a single family member that has a house left. >> i have lost 11 members of my family, one of whom is four years old. >> mona al ghazala is another san francisco palestinian american. >> feeling desperation at the deaths and repeated displacement

of his family and other palestinians, especially this wednesday on the 76th anniversary of the israeli-arab war. called the nakba, or catastrophe, it is a continuation of what happened in in the to the palestinians in 1948. >> as they moved from one place to another. we want to simply live like everybody else. >> husalah and the elkarra family say that what is so heartbreaking is seeing relatives, especially the young children suffering in gaza and the despair of not being able to help or protect them. >> yeah, it got to be so difficult for those families. all right. thank you so much. jana katsuyama reporting live for us tonight. a gaza war mural that was vandalized at least six times before being defaced again, this time with hateful and threatening and anti-semitic remarks. people in san francisco's noe valley neighborhood said the mural was covered by swastikas and a message that read kill the jews

for allah. the remarks have since been painted over. the mural was created by artist chris gazzola about five months ago as a reminder of the families who have been killed in gaza. new at 730 tonight, the city of berkeley says its homeless population has dropped by almost half in the last two years. new numbers from the homeless count for alameda county shows unsheltered homelessness in berkeley dropped 45% between 2022 and this year 2024. overall homelessness dropped 21. the report though, however, did find the number of sheltered homeless, meaning those staying in shelters went up earlier today. on the four, we spoke to berkeley city council member sophie hahn about what berkeley is doing to try to bring those numbers down. >> when we go and we work with an encampment area, an area that's very impacted, we will do months of outreach. we do mental health and health care outreach, we do housing intake. we help keep cleanliness in in the

encampment, and we help raise the level of dignity in terms of living. and we build trust. and when we're able to build that trust and then we have real offers of low barrier shelters and of actual hope to be rehoused. people accept our offers. and so hahn is running for mayor of berkeley to replace jesse arreguin, who is running for state senate. >> the sonoma county sheriff's office, honoring its fallen during a national peace officers memorial day event in santa rosa over its 174 year history, one sheriff and nine deputy sheriffs have died in the line of duty while serving the department. their names are etched in a stone monument right there in front of the sheriff's headquarters. the santa clara county sheriff's office, honoring fallen deputies and san jose police officers during its annual peace officers memorial

travelers to connect from one airline to another. if those two different airlines are in different terminals, whether passengers are leaving or arriving, as long as they're behind the security gates, they can travel anywhere to any terminal in the airport without having to reclear security. >> that's a huge advantage for folks who want to take full advantage of all the airport's many amenities. that includes airport wide museums, spas, yoga, dining and shopping. >> we've really invested a lot in things to do post security, things to do before you get on to your flight. >> as sfo celebrates the new terminal, it also celebrates its 97th birthday, june of 1927. tom vacar ktvu fox two news. >> meantime, lawmakers on capitol hill today passed a bill to reauthorize the federal aviation administration faa for five years. this legislation allocates $105 billion to improve aviation safety and
