Clashes at hospital where ultranationalist group thinks terrorist being treated

Chaos has erupted at Sheba medical center near Tel Aviv, amid widespread anger over the fact that Hamas terrorists injured during the group’s attack on Israel are being treated by Israeli hospitals.

Dozens of members of an ultranationalist group showed up at the hospital with demands that the hospital not treat a terrorist they thought was brought there, and scuffle with security as they try to break in.

Several are reportedly arrested. According to Channel 12 news, the terrorist had already been moved to another location.

There have been protests throughout the day over the issue, leading the Health Ministry to order that hospitals beef up security, warning that there could be a lynching of terrorists, Ynet reports.
