Tension Rises As Police Prepare To Clear UCLA Encampment

Protests amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, at UCLA in Los Angeles

California Highway Patrol officers are currently stationed outside the UCLA encampment equipped with zip ties, crowd control gear, and non-lethal weapons. The encampment is occupied by anti-Israel protesters who are visibly displaying Palestinian flags and using strobe lights directed towards law enforcement. Additionally, the Los Angeles Police Department has established a perimeter on campus to maintain order.

Tensions are escalating as both protesters and police anticipate a forthcoming sweep of the encampment, scheduled to occur after midnight local time. The encampment and its surroundings are estimated to be occupied by several hundred anti-Israel protesters, with law enforcement agencies positioned on the perimeter.

As of 10:05 p.m. local time, there have been no reports of violence on campus. The situation remains fluid as authorities monitor the developments closely.
