After the municipality's main demonstration ended in Haifa Municipality Square, another, unplanned demonstration was held by supporters who came to show solidarity with draft resister Yona Rossman near the draft office.
Although the protesters did not block traffic or disrupt public space, the police informed them that they had to evacuate within minutes, claiming that the demonstration was illegal.
When the protesters did not evacuate, the police began to forcibly evacuate them, using some violence, which led to arrests on the spot. Some of the detainees were taken to various police stations, and were recorded in videos documenting the event and the protesters' reactions.

The Israel Police considers the right to protest as a cornerstone in a democratic country and allows protests as long as they are held within the framework of the law, at the same time the police will not allow disturbances of any kind or damage to freedom of movement and any behavior that may endanger the safety of the public.
What are clubs for? Can't you break bones for these types?
An article written in the most manipulative language, designed to dwarf the flaws of Israel-haters who disparage the IDF and the country they live in and thanks to which they live. An attempt to create empathy for the phenomenon, an attempt to dwarf the violence and the inciting signs.
embarrassing.
What starts in Gaza and the territories reaches the streets of Haifa… The Ben Gvir police will eliminate us all if we don’t set limits for them
Well… let's see you, you rascal…
Anyone who refuses to enlist, whether religious or secular, except if they are mentally ill or physically ill, subject to the decision of a district doctor, is sentenced to prison for a long time and, in the case in question, you are an anarchist and your place is not in the State of Israel!!!
No one bothered to explain what was illegal about this demonstration?
The messages that emerge from it are not to the Supreme Leader's liking.
The demonstration. The demonstration is illegal.
Why does anyone have to explain to you what illegal fencing is? Do you want me to draw it for you?
