Police use battering ram to break into Amona synagogue

Police use a battering ram to break down the barricaded entrance to the synagogue at the Amona outpost.

Images on Israeli TV show the police officers forcing their way into the building and using their riot shields to protect themselves from projectiles being hurled from inside.

Police officers use their riot shields to deflect objects thrown by protesters as they try to force their way into the barricaded synagogue at the Amona outpost in the West Bank on February 2, 2017 (screen capture: Channel 2)
