Police at Portland State University took action against pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Thursday, dispersing a protest that had occupied a university library since Monday. Videos captured officers running towards protesters, detaining individuals, and attempting to disperse the crowd. The situation intensified as protesters clashed with officers in riot gear, resulting in several arrests. Despite efforts to clear the area, further arrests were made later in the evening as demonstrators regrouped. The university described the situation as "fluid." These events unfolded against the backdrop of heightened tensions following the deadly attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants and the subsequent Israeli offensive.
