D.C. police cracked down early Wednesday on the anti-Israel protest encampment at George Washington University.
A giant American flag is unfurled on Lisner Hall on the campus of George Washington University in Washington, Friday, May 3, 2024, as demonstrators protest the Israel-Hamas war. D.C. police cracked down early Wednesday on the anti-Israel protest encampment at George Washington University about 12 hours before D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Metropolitan Police leaders were set to testify before Congress about their handling of the demonstrations.
Police said at least three people were hit with pepper spray in response to punches thrown at officers. She added that the campsite was becoming a gathering point for non-GWU students and counterprotesters were sneaking into the encampment to stoke conflict. House Republicans took interest in the encampment when an earlier report suggested that Ms. Bowser and police leaders had opted for a hands-off approach to demonstrations in order to avoid the chaotic scenes playing out at other universities.
