Violence erupts as clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters turn chaotic at UCLA campus. Read the shocking details here!

Chaos ensued at UCLA when pro-Palestinian protesters were viciously attacked by masked vigilantes armed with pepper spray and fireworks. The police delayed intervention, leading to a disturbing scene of violence and fear on campus. The clash between the two groups resulted in one person being driven away in a turbulent confrontation.

The escalating tensions saw pepper spray and firecrackers being used as weapons in the clash. Pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to break down barricades while chaos reigned on the campus. The situation quickly spiraled out of control, drawing attention to the serious nature of the conflict.

As the violence unfolded, law enforcement intervened to restore order at UCLA. Officers from the LAPD and CHP were called in to address the escalating situation and end the violent clashes. The university condemned the acts of violence, emphasizing the need for peace and stability on campus.

In a dramatic turn of events, over 100 demonstrators were arrested at Columbia University and City College of New York in related protests. The crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrations underscores the widespread impact and response to the conflict. As tensions continue to rise, universities across the country face challenges in managing the complex dynamics of the Israel-Palestine issue.
