Violent clashes as police try to break up mass gathering at Bnei Brak synagogue
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleViolent clashes break out in Bnei Brak, as police attempt to disperse hundreds who gathered to pray without distancing or wearing face masks.
Ultra-Orthodox men at a local synagogue call officers, “Nazis,” and urge them to “go back to Germany,” according to footage from the scene.
Even after receiving fines, many refused to leave, and 13 were arrested, police say.
However, footage shows the situation spiraling out of control, with police unable to prevent the crowds from continuing to gather.
