Two videos show apparent violence against anti-government protesters in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

In one video, religious youth in Jerusalem’s Nahlaot neighborhood appear to throw a bottle at a car in the convoy heading toward the Paris Square protest. The video also shows a man, apparently the driver, being accosted by several people as he pulls over.

Police say a suspect has been collared for throwing a bottle at a car, after fighting with police. A statement says a number of officers need medical treatment following the arrest.

In a second incident, a group of people is seen surrounding and punching a protester in Tel Aviv’s Shapira neighborhood.
