Police clear area where pro-Israeli mob attacked pro-Palestine students at UCLA

Police cleared the area where a pro-Israeli mob attacked pro-Palestine protesters at the University of California in Los Angeles in the early hours of Wednesday, according to local reporters. 

Anthony Cabassa, an independent journalist at the scene, posted on X that police "successfully cleared the area separating both factions".

He added that it appears police have not been ordered to clear the pro-Palestine encampment or arrest anyone.

For hours, a pro-Israeli mob at least 100 strong violently assaulted the peaceful encampment, launching fireworks at them, using tear gas and striking some students with sticks.

The student newspaper Daily Bruin said at least five people were injured. 

The clashes lasted for hours before police intervened, according to local reports.
