Anti-Israel protesters at UCLA build wall around encampment ahead of anticipated police raid

Anti-Israel protesters have enacted a plywood wall around their encampment on the UCLA campus.

Anti-Israel protesters at UCLA have built a wall around their encampment as tensions rise with multiple law enforcement agencies on campus, who have been increasing their presence over the past few hours ahead of an anticipated raid.

Walls of plywood can be seen surrounding most of the encampment, which was already behind railing, and protesters can be seen standing up above the top of the plywood with strobe lights and Palestinian flags.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said power drills could be heard throughout the night as the protesters continued to fortify the barrier separating them from multiple agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office.

Melugin estimated there are hundreds of protesters behind the plywood and hundreds more surrounding the police perimeter.

Law enforcement is expected to enter the encampment sometime this morning after multiple calls for the protesters to leave the area. Melugin said a police source texted him saying, "It's about to go down."
