Police at Virginia Tech physically carried away several anti-Israel agitators during a demonstration on campus Sunday night and into Monday morning.
Police officers at Virginia Tech arrested several anti-Israel agitators at a campus demonstration on Sunday night and into Monday morning amid hundreds of arrests during recent protests at elite colleges and universities across the country. Video from the campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, shows a trio of officers placing one student in zip-tie restraints while carrying them by their arms and legs to another part of the encampment.
The protests are against Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza and its mounting death toll, which sits at more than 34,000 deaths, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. The anti-Israel protest groups are calling on the universities to end investments in companies that support or profit from Israel's military actions in Gaza.
Fox News Digital reached out to Virginia Tech but did not immediately receive a response. Protesters at the various college campuses across the U.S. are threatening to derail upcoming graduation ceremonies with continued disruptive demonstrators. About 275 people were arrested on Saturday at various campuses, including Indiana University at Bloomington, Arizona State University and others.
Police at Washington University in St. Louis removed masked protesters and arrested more than 100 people, including students and university employees, on Saturday. The nationwide campus protests were sparked by some students' opposition to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, which was a response to Hamas' deadly attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7. The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
