Video from the demonstrations in Tel Aviv shows a mounted officer using the reins of his horse to strike a protester across the head.

The demonstrator then falls to the ground while clutching his head, as the officer rides on.

Other protesters rush over to check on the man and help him stand, and a police officer then comes up to ask if he’s alright. It’s not immediately clear if he required medical attention.
