Later, Twizer broadcasts from behind police lines. She says sticks and other objects were also thrown at her and other reporters. She says she is not the only reporter who has been forced to seek protection from police in order to report on the event.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid shares the footage on X, writing: “Disgraceful images. Where is the Israel Police?”
Twizer says later that she got several “heart-warming” phone calls from ultra-Orthodox callers denouncing the attacks on her.
