10 injured as stun grenade thrown inside polling station in Druze town

A stun grenade is thrown inside a polling station in the northern Druze town of Yarka, police say.

Two polling stations in the town have been closed as a result of the attack, according to the statement. Hebrew-language media reports that a scuffle broke out at the scene.

Police are investigating the incident.

Four Druze regional councils in the Golan Heights are holding their first elections since 1967; however, voting in Israeli elections remains taboo for many in the community.
