Demonstrations at US universities against Israel's actions in Gaza face police crackdowns and attacks by counter-protesters, leading to mass arrests and tension on campuses.
In New York, 282 people were arrested as police cleared students occupying Columbia University, while in California, pro-Israel counter-protesters clashed with pro-Palestine demonstrators at UCLA.
Protesters at Columbia University renamed the building to Hind's Hall in memory of a Gaza victim, Hind Rajab, killed by Israeli forces, drawing attention to the conflict's human impact.
NYPD's deputy commissioner stated that the police were assisting Columbia University in dispersing unlawful encampments and restoring order on campus.
