Violent clashes erupted at UCLA between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters, causing chaos on campus and leading to class cancellations. The clashes involved attacks, tear gas, pepper spray, and shocking acts of violence. The university canceled classes due to the distress caused by the violent incidents on the Royce Quad.

In the aftermath of the clashes, UCLA faced criticism for the violence inflicted upon protesters.

Amidst the chaos, UCLA took swift action by canceling all classes, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the impact of the violence on students and faculty. The clashes serve as a reminder of the ongoing political divisions and heated debates that can escalate into physical confrontations. The incident sparked discussions on campus safety, freedom of expression, and the need for peaceful resolutions to conflicts like the one witnessed at UCLA.
