Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania had at least 75 protesters set up an encampment on campus on Saturday evening, the university president said.

A group of at least 75 anti-Israel agitators staged an encampment at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday evening. According to a statement by Drexel University President John Fry, 75 pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment on campus at the Korman Quad on Saturday evening. Fry said the individuals participated in the Philly Palestine Coalition’s Nakba Day march to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Drexel Police Public Safety is monitoring the encampment to 'ensure that it is peaceful and non-disruptive' and that participants 'will behave respectfully toward one another,' Fry said. 'We will be prepared to respond quickly to any disruptive or threatening behavior by anyone,' Fry said.
