The firings confirmed by Google late Wednesday came a day after nine employees were arrested during protests at offices in New York and California.
Google has fired 28 employees in the aftermath of protests over technology that the internet company is supplying to the Israeli government amid the Gaza war, further escalating tensions surrounding a hot-button deal.
The protests are being organized primarily by a group called No Tech For Apartheid. Google says Nimbus isn't being deployed in weaponry or intelligence gathering. The contract raising the ire of some Google workers runs within the company's cloud computing division that is overseen by a former Oracle executive, Thomas Kurian.
