Israel Police break up pro-Palestinian rally in Umm al-Fahm, arrest 12

Israel Police says it broke up a pro-Palestinian rally being held in the Arab city of Umm al-Fahm.

Police say that 12 people were arrested on suspicion of disrupting public order, and that protesters shouted anti-Israel slogans.

The police have said it will have “zero tolerance” for rallies supporting Hamas within Israel, and Police chief Kobi Shabtai said on the force’s Arabic-language TikTok earlier this week that “anyone who wants to identify with Gaza is welcome — I’ll put them on buses that will send them there.”
