Authorities have successfully removed the Kufiya and Palestinian flags that defaced the statue of George Washington at George Washington University. Following the removal, only stickers remain as remnants of the incident after police cleared the anti-Israel encampment on campus in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Reports indicate that at least 35 individuals were arrested by DC police during the operation at GWU. The situation escalated as anti-Israel agitators caused disturbances in the university's U-Yard, resisting police intervention to restore order.
