College campus protests erupt across US ahead of anticipated Israel operation in Gaza

The protests remained peaceful but deeply upset some of the Jewish students on the campuses, at least one of whom called the support "unjust" in the face of a terrorist attack.
Former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal labeled Friday a global day of "rage" and protest, which resulted in protests in Arab nations throughout the region. Mashal stressed that the protests would send a "message of rage to Zionists and to America." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told Fox News' Trey Yingst that their infantry forces and tanks entered the Gaza Strip on Friday to conduct localized raids - but not yet begun its much-anticipated ground invasion of the region.
The protests, not limited to campuses in the cases of some New York City colleges such as Baruch College on the city’s Upper East Side, took aim at Israel for its treatment of the Palestinian people over the past decades and Israel’s apparent response.
