An anti-Israel protester at a third encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles smacked a phone out of a rabbis hand.

Rabbi Dovid Gurevich, director of Chabad at UCLA Jewish Student Center, was livestreaming the encampment from his phone on Monday when a protester could be seen smacking the phone out of his hand.

The protester attempted to confront Gurevich more, but was held back.

We hate Zionists, the protester said. We love the good Jews.

Gurevich told Fox 11 that the protester singled him out.

Being confronted by people with masks is a little bit disturbing, Gurevich said. Im very visibly Jewish. I was wearing my yarmulke hat, so Im sure it had a lot to do with that. If they perceive Jewish people as the enemy, then were worth, I guess, singling out and attacking.

Braziel, UCLAs Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Safety called the third encampment protest completely unacceptable.

The demonstration activity disregarded our values as a community, violated our campus policies and broke the law. These actions injured people, threatened the safety of our community and vandalized our campus. These actions also prevented students from completing their final exams,Braziel said.

According to the Daily Bruin, over 100 protesters set up three encampments in different areas across campus on Monday afternoon following a protest by the UC Divest Coalition and Students for Justice in Palestine at UCLA which called on the University of California to divest from companies that support the Israeli military.

The protesters barricaded the encampment on Monday afternoon and began reading the names of individuals who have died in Gaza.

UCPD issued several orders calling on the protesters to disperse but waited until Monday night to begin clearing out the encampment and make arrests. In total, 25 people were arrested.
