Multiple Yale anti-Israel protesters arrested as police close in on occupation: report

Police began removing anti-Israel protesters who set up tents on Yale University's campus as part of a weeklong demonstration, according to reports.

Police began removing anti-Israel protesters from an encampment on Yale’s campus early Monday after a week of protests calling for the university to divest from military weapon manufacturers.

At least 16 protesters were arrested as police looked through tents set up in the encampment at Beinecke Plaza, where more than 250 agitators gathered Sunday night, the Yale Daily News reported. 

Protest organizers told the paper that at least some of those arrested are students. 

A member of the Yale Police Department told the Yale Daily News that the arrested protesters would be written up and released.
