Police arrest three anti-war protesters in Haifa for disturbing the peace.
The demonstrators “raised signs and chanted in condemnation of Israel and its actions in the war in Gaza, which could disturb the peace of the public,” the Israel Police says in a statement.
The police say demonstrators “ignored the instructions of the police at the scene,” during the “illegal demonstration” on the city’s Ben Gurion Street.
“The Israel Police sees the right to demonstrate as a cornerstone of a democratic state, and allows protests so long as they are held within the law,” the statement says.
“The police will not allow civil disorder of any kind or violation of the freedom of movement, or any behavior that could endanger the wellbeing of the public,” it concludes.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
