Several protesters say they are wounded after police throw stun grenades at a mass rally in Tel Aviv.

Omri Lavi tells Channel 13 news that a stun grenade exploded next to him during the protest, hurting his legs. “A stun grenade went off right next to me. I have cuts on my legs and need to seek medical treatment.”

Lavi says that a woman next to him “was bleeding from her ear” after the stun grenade went off. “There is no doubt that the police have decided to take things up a notch today. They see us as enemies of the nation.”
