Police arrest 2 at far-rightist conference

Police swoop in on a right-wing conference on the recent administrative detentions for suspected Jewish extremists, and arrest two people for violating a ban on attending such gatherings, the NRG website reports.

Among those present were Bentzi Gopstein, the head of the anti-integration Lehava organization, and far-right extremists Baruch Marzel and Noam Federman.

The Honenu organization, which offers legal aid to Israeli Jews suspected of nationalist attacks, says that “large numbers” of police arrived at the community center in Nof Ayalon, where the conference was taking place, while NRG says that there were only a few police cars were spotted at the site.
