Police: 5 cops hurt in Amona synagogue evacuation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleProtesters injure five police officers during the evacuation of the Amona outpost’s synagogue, attacking them with chemicals, rocks, bottles and wooden boards, police say.
“These outlaws are not respecting the place where they’ve set themselves up,” the police say in a statement.
The police say they will “exercise restraint” so long as protesters refrain from violence, but if the situation deteriorates officers “will be uncompromising and will bring to justice all those who break the law.”
These five officers join 24 others who were injured over the course of the Amona evacuation, starting yesterday.
