Four people were arrested on Friday night and early Saturday morning in connection with riots in Umm el-Fahm, N12 reported.
The report cited a police statement saying that after a procession was held in the town, arranged in advance with authorities, dozens of young people, some of whom were wearing masks, arrived and began to disturb the peace.
According to N12, the agitators attempted to block the entrance to the town, burned tires, ignited fireworks and threw rocks at security forces.
Border Police and other security forces made four arrests, N12 added.
“At the end of the investigation and in accordance with the evidence in the case, it will be decided whether to hold a hearing in Haifa Court on Saturday to extend their [the suspects’] detention,” the police spokeswoman said, adding,“The Israel Police will continue to act resolutely against violators of order and vandalism.”
