Police filmed using physical force, chokeholds against Tel Aviv protesters

Once again police officers in Tel Aviv are filmed using physical force against unarmed protesters rallying against the government’s judicial overhaul plan.

In one clip, police are seen putting a protester in a chokehold and wrestling him to the ground as others surround them chanting “shame!”

Protestors in Tel Aviv share this video of a forceful police arrest of a demonstrator in the anti-government protests in the city, close to the blocked Ayalon highway.

Alona Sa’ar, an actress and the daughter of opposition MK Gideon Sa’ar, tells the Kan public broadcaster that she was punched by police officers when she tried to intervene as one officer “was choking a protester.”
