Los Angeles police in riot gear swarmed a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Southern California early on Sunday to clear away demonstrators, after warning everyone to leave the area or be arrested, officials and media reported. Police entered the encampment about 5 a.m. local time and began removing tents, the Los Angeles Times and other media reported. The anti-war protests have been staged at campuses across the nation in response to Israel's offensive in Gaza, which it launched after a Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that Israel says killed 1,200 people.
