Far-right youth briefly clash with anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv before police chase them away

Far-right youth briefly clash with people at the anti-government, pro-hostage deal protest on Tel Aviv’s Begin Road, before being chased away by police.

Officers are stationed at a nearby parking lot where protesters alert them to the group’s presence. Some protesters accuse the police of slacking on the job.

The officers promptly march toward the youth, who run southward, toward the Kaplan interchange, where they loiter for a few minutes.

Officers order them to disperse, detaining at least one who failed to leave the area. Police chase them away again.

Chief Superintendent Avi Ofer, deputy commander of the nearby Lev Tel Aviv police station, can be heard asking, “Where are there more rightwing activists?” as he charged the group at Kaplan interchange. As they disperse, he taunts the teenagers, “Shouldn’t you be in school tomorrow?”
