A statue and an administration building at Harvard and the homes of two top administrators at the University of Michigan were vandalized, apparently by protesters sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause.

The statue of John Harvard in Harvard Yard was drizzled with fake blood and windows were broken at University Hall early on Tuesday, after a vigil had been held in the yard for the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The words “intifada” and “coward” were painted on the suburban Detroit home of Santa Ono, president of the University of Michigan. The home of Erik Lundberg, the university’s chief investment officer, was vandalized as well on Monday.

It was unclear who committed the vandalism.

A group called Unity of Fields posted a video on X that appeared to show windows at Harvard being smashed and a liquid similar to red paint being drizzled on the statue.

In an accompanying message, the group said the vandalism was committed by “autonomous actors” who did so “in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance.”

The Anti-Defamation League describes Unity of Fields, formerly known as Palestine Action US, as “a far-left and anti-Zionist ‘direct action network’ that engages in and/or promotes protests and defacement of private property belonging to organizations and individuals it considers supportive of Zionism.”

Harvard is investigating the incident on its campus, said Steven G. Catalano, a spokesman for the Harvard police. He said it was the police force’s policy not to comment on open investigations.

The group also posted about the defacement of property on Monday with pro-Palestinian slogans at the advanced science research center of the City University of New York and at the University of Massachusetts at Amherstduckwin online casino, among other incidents. Some of the vandalism was accompanied by the slogan “Bring the War Home.”
