On Tuesday night, a disturbing incident unfolded at UCLA's pro-Palestinian protest encampment, where several dozen men dressed in black with white masks launched a violent attack using crude weapons such as poles and incendiaries. The chaos was captured on video by a witness who arrived at the scene before the altercation began.
The witness, who regularly films police conduct in Los Angeles, documented hours of footage showing the lead-up to the attack and its aftermath. According to the witness, the attackers appeared to be pro-Israel based on remarks made during the incident. Some individuals were seen carrying Israeli flags and wearing clothing with pro-Israel messages.
