Police have begun an operation to clear the last pro-Palestinian protesters from an encampment on the UCLA campus.
Thursday morning’s law enforcement effort comes after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loud speakers if people did not disperse. Hundreds of people had gathered on campus, both inside a barricaded tent encampment and outside of it in support.
The stand-off comes a night after the UCLA encampment was attacked by counter-protesters wielding sticks and throwing fireworks.
The demonstration is part of a nationwide college protest movement against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
