Dozens Clash With Police in Jaffa After Teenager Detained for ‘Violating’ Coronavirus Restrictions

Dozens of Jaffa residents clashed with Israel Police Wednesday when the detention of a 16-year-old who refused to provide his identity to police escalated into a demonstration.

Four demonstrators were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after they allegedly tried to help the teenager flee from the checkpoint where he had been stopped, which was set up near the neighborhood of Ajami to enforce movement restrictions in Israel’s coronavirus lockdown.
