SUMMARY: Clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protesters erupted at UCLA, with violence including fistfights and fireworks being thrown. The protests were part of demands for UCLA to divest from Israel and stop the conflict with Hamas. The encampment by pro-Palestinian protesters led to barricades and clashes with counter-protesters. Police eventually intervened to quell the violence, but injuries and extent were unclear. Similar protests and confrontations have been happening at other universities across the US, with disagreements over divestment from Israel. The protests at Columbia University also escalated, leading to police intervention and clashes between protesters and law enforcement.
