Israeli protesters clash with police outside Netanyahu's residence
Protest organizers said six people were injured in the clashes Monday morning.
Israeli police and protesters clashed outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence Monday morning amid growing frustration over the government's response to the country’s coronavirus outbreak.
Protest organizers said six people were injured during the clashes that ensued as police cleared their encampment.
“This morning at 5:40 a.m., a group of about 30 policemen, police officers and city inspectors attacked the encampment,” protest organizers said, according to The Times of Israel. “Without identifying themselves or presenting any [court] order, they began to violently confiscate the protesters’ private property without an explanation as to why the property was seized."
The city of Jerusalem denied the claims, adding that only property without a permit was removed.
