A published media report has linked a Beverly Hills High School student to the April 30 attacks on the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment. The CNN Investigation names an 18-year-old student (whose name the Courier is withholding) as one of the assailants and contains video footage of him wearing a white mask and hoodie and striking a pro-Palestinian protestor with a pole.
The CNN report quotes the student’s mother, who said that her son did indeed go to UCLA on the 30th and that he plans to join the Israel Defense Forces. The mother later reversed course and told CNN that her son was not at the encampment attack.
