Violence breaks out at dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protests on UCLA campus

Dueling demonstrations on the UCLA campus by pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups turned physical Sunday after demonstrators breached the physical barrier the school said it established to separate the groups. In a statement by UCLA, Mary Osako, vice chancellor for Strategic Communications, said that a group of demonstrators had breached a barrier intended to separate the two groups of protesters. Osako said this resulted in 'physical altercations.

The IAC said it wanted to host the event after the Oct. 7th attack overseas but was denied a permit at the time. It reapplied this week and was approved after seeing pro-Palestinian encampments on campus.Those encampments calling for a cease-fire in Gaza were originally set up at Royce Hall Thursday and have since grown, though it remains unclear how many people were protesting at the site, and how many of those were students.
