Louisiana police clear out anti-Israel encampment at Tulane University, arrest 14 protesters

Louisiana State Police cleared out an encampment of anti-Israel protesters from Tulane University early Wednesday morning, making 14 arrests during the operation.

As with campuses across the country, protesters had occupied Tulane's lawn for days ahead of the police action. Police first attempted to disperse the crowd at 3 a.m. local time. Many protesters remained seated and refused to leave, however, and police ultimately arrested eight women and six men, according to NOLA.com.

The encampment was cleared by 4:30 am.
