Police: Tear gas fired at Amona did not come from us

Police spokeswoman Merav Lapidot says the tear gas used during the evacuation of the Amona synagogue was not released by officers.

“We did not use those materials [tear gas]. It was [the protesters] who stockpiled and used these materials. … They used these and other materials against the police. The police continue to treat them with respect, even though just moments ago they threw iron bars at the police.”
