6 of the 33 arrested anti-Israel protesters at GWU are students

Just six of the 33 people arrested at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. earlier this week were students, Fox News has learned.

The GW Hatchet campus newspaper originally reported that 33 arrests were made Wednesday in order to clear the unlawful anti-Israel encampment and defacing of a George Washington statue in University Yard.

The large percentage of arrests at GWU representing non-students follows a trend of many anti-Israel protesters not being affiliated with colleges.

The NYPD reported that nearly half of their 282 arrests from the past week were not affiliated with either Columbia or City College.

Fox News Digital has reached out to George Washington University for comment.
