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.
