Protesters attacked in Holon
A number of demonstrators in Holon calling for Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation were sprayed with “some kind of gas” by opponents who showed up to confront them.
“During a protest in Kugel Square in Holon, a number of people came and clashed with the protesters. During [the clashes], some kind of gas was sprayed at the protesters,” police say in a statement.
According to police, none of the demonstrators need medical treatment; officers are searching for the perpetrators.
A Haaretz photographer tweets a picture of far-right activists in Holon, some of whom are holding a sign that reads “a good leftist is a dead leftist.”
להפגנה בחולון הגיעו כמה עשרות פעילים ( ככל הנראה לה פמיליה)
