Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups have clashed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as demonstrations over the war in Gaza continue across US campuses.

Nationwide rallies - during which there have been hundreds of arrests - showed no sign of stopping over the weekend.

At UCLA "physical altercations broke out" after a barrier separating the two sides was breached, an official said.

The White House has insisted that demonstrations must remain peaceful.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC that the US government respects the right of protesters demonstrating over the Israel-Gaza war.

Demonstrators breach barriers, clash at UCLA as campus protests multiply: Updates

"Physical altercations" occurred Sunday on the UCLA campus when demonstrators breached a security barrier set up to keep people protesting the Israeli war in Gaza separate from counterprotesters, the school said in a statement.

The clash came one day after arrests on at least four universities as demonstrations and days-long encampments in opposition to the war swept across the nation's college campuses. Students are calling for a cease-fire and want their schools to stop investing in Israeli firms that are involved with or profit from Israel's war against Hamas.

The protesters also want the U.S. to halt military aid to Israel's war effort.

“UCLA has a long history of being a place of peaceful protest, and we are heartbroken about the violence that broke out,” the school's vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, said in a statement.

Though the Daily Bruin campus newspaper said one of its reporters was hit in the face with a flag, the Los Angeles Times called the demonstrations "large and noisy but mostly peaceful'' as campus police broke up minor scuffles. At the cross-town University of Southern California, the campus remains closed after 93 people were arrested during demonstrations Wednesday. The school has canceled its main graduation ceremony amid the turmoil.
