UCLA anti-Israel protesters clash with police after blocking access to campus buildings
Police once again clashed with protesters at the University of California Los Angeles as anti-Israel demonstrations returned to campus.
Anti-Israel protesters rebuilt an encampment on the college grounds on Thursday, occupying space around Kerckhoff Patio.
Protesters erected wooden barriers and blocked access to a small portion of the campus. Officials warned demonstrators to clear the “unlawful assembly” but were rebuked.
Around noon, multiple police departments collaborated to swiftly quash the protests.

Footage showed law enforcement and protesters in various physical altercations.
“There is reasonable cause to find that demonstrators’ activities — including erecting barricades, establishing fortifications, and blocking access to parts of the campus and buildings — are disrupting campus operations,” said a statement from Administrative Vice Chancellor Michael Becks and Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Safety Rick Braziel.

The statement continued, “Demonstrators have been informed that if they do not disperse, they will face arrest and possible disciplinary action, as well as an order to stay away from campus for 7 days.”
The latest round of protests coincided with UCLA Chancellor Gene Block’s appearance before the House Education Committee for a hearing on anti-semitism at U.S. universities.
“With the benefit of hindsight, we should have been prepared to immediately remove the encampment if and when the safety of our community was put at risk,” Block told the committee.

Tensions on UCLA campus reached their climax on April 30, when police stormed a much larger encampment and arrested over 200 individuals.
A further 40 people were arrested on May 6 and sporadic demonstrations have popped back up repeatedly since then.

Christmas storm still on track to hit Southern California. Here is when the heaviest rain arrives
Southern California is preparing for a powerful winter storm over the Christmas holiday, with forecasters warning of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and potential flooding across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm will bring an extended period of significant rainfall from Tuesday through Saturday, with totals expected to reach 4 to 8 inches across coastal and valley areas and 8 to 12 inches or more in the foothills and mountains by Saturday evening. Officials are urging residents to take necessary precautions, as flooding and debris flows could pose serious risks throughout the week.
The first, and most impactful, surge of rain is expected Tuesday night into Wednesday, when a moderate to strong atmospheric river will target the area. During this period, rainfall totals could reach 2 to 5 inches in coastal and valley regions and 5 to 10 inches in foothills and mountain areas, with hourly rates of 0.75 to 1.25 inches possible. The extended rainfall and intensity raise concerns about widespread urban flooding, mud and debris flows, and hazardous driving conditions, particularly during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
A flood watch has been issued for all four counties from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening, and the National Weather Service recommends that residents begin taking protective actions now.
In addition to heavy rain, strong southerly winds are expected Tuesday and Wednesday, particularly in the mountains and foothills, with the potential to knock down trees and cause power outages. Officials are advising residents to avoid swollen creeks and rivers, refrain from unnecessary ocean activity, and take precautions such as parking vehicles away from tall trees during periods of strong wind.
Forecasters emphasized that the timing and intensity of the storm could still change and encouraged residents to monitor updates from the National Weather Service and KTLA’s meteorologists.
