Protests condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza have intensified at universities across the USA, including the University of Southern California (USC). Pro-Palestinian students at USC demanded a permanent ceasefire and urged the university to sever ties with Israeli-linked companies. Tensions peaked when police clashed with students who had set up protest tents in Alumni Park. The exact number of detained students remains undisclosed. Similar anti-Israel demonstrations occurred at New York University (NYU), Yale University, and other institutions like the University of California and the University of Minnesota.
