Pro-Palestinian protesters set up camp outside Los Angeles City Hall

A group of about 50 pro-Palestine protesters set up an encampment outside the Los Angeles City Hall and Monday evening.

About 20 tents lined the sidewalks outside the building and several of them had Palestinian flags and phrases like “Free Palestine” and “Free Gaza,” KABC-TV reported.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed online that it was monitoring the “non-permitted demonstration” and urged people in the area to use caution since some people were in the road.

No arrests or injuries have been reported. The Associated Press said the LAPD went on an area-wide tactical alert out of an abundance of caution.

The Hill has reached out to the LAPD for further comment on the demonstration.

The LAPD has clashed with protesters elsewhere in the city over pro-Palestine demonstrations.

Members of the LAPD wore helmets and carried batons as they pushed back protesters on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus last month. In April, physical altercations broke out between pro-Palestine protesters and counterprotesters on the campus.

More than 3,000 people have been arrested on college campuses across the country for protesting the Israel-Hamas war, the AP reported.

Students and community members have called on universities and U.S. institutions to divest from Israeli companies or companies that supply weapons to Israel as the war in Gaza continues.
