Ten protesters were arrested at an anti-Israel rally that turned chaotic on Tuesday at the University of South Florida campus in Tampa. The rally, which drew around 75 to 100 protesters, quickly escalated as authorities deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd.
The protesters, some of whom were not affiliated with the university, arrived with wood shields, umbrellas, and tents. Concerns arose when social media posts indicated that some participants planned to bring weapons to resist university staff and campus police.
