ATHENS, GA — Georgia's latest university protest of the war in Gaza hit a well-known college campus in Athens on Monday, according to media reports.

Dozens of protesters set up camp at the University of Georgia, resulting in some of them being detained, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Red and Black, UGA's campus newspaper, said the protest was organized around 6 a.m. by local students.

The pro-Palestinian protest was deemed a Gaza solidarity encampment, according to an Instagram post from the Students for Justice in Palestine at UGA. The group acknowledged campus officials requested a dispersement of the protest, sharing a brief clip of the interaction.

"As community members and students banded together in an encampment on university grounds to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, university administration gave a dispersal order and then police came and forcefully removed and arrested demonstrators. ... Education is for everyone. We have the right to protest and be heard," UGA-SJP wrote on Instagram.

The group said it "stands in solidarity" with residents in Palestine and other "student movements across the nation advocating for Palestinian liberation."

The protest is one of several nationwide protesting the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Recent Israeli airstrikes claimed the lives of at least 25 Palestinians and injured others in Gaza, Reuters reported Monday, citing medics. Warplanes hit two houses and killed at least four people and injured several others, the outlet reported, citing health officials.
