3 arrested for assault during right-wing riot at Ra’anana synagogue
Police say they arrested three people suspected of assault during a riot by by right-wing activists outside a synagogue in Ra’anana where people were gathered for a screening of the joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony.

Right-wing activists storm Ra’anana synagogue hosting screening of joint Israeli-Palestinian memorial event
Dozens of right-wing activists surrounded the Beit Samueli synagogue in the central Israeli city of Ra’anana earlier this evening, where people were gathered for a screening of the joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony in Jaffa.
In footage published online, protesters can be seen crowding around the courtyard and on the steps leading to the entrance to the synagogue, many of them clutching Israeli flags.
The Haaretz daily reports that a number of protesters also forced their way into the building itself, where they hurled abuse at the event’s participants, including by telling them to “go to Gaza,” while chasing after them.
“You are Nazis! Nazis!” someone screams at a participant, who captures the chaos on camera.
“Death to terrorists! Death to terrorists!” others chant and applaud. “All the Arabs are whores!”
Police were called to the scene to evacuate people from the event, but there are no immediate reports of any arrests.
