The settler state’s police and its pilgrims clash at unauthorised festival site at Meron in the Galilee region, which has been under the control of Hezbollah rocket fire since the Gaza genocide started.

The visitors damaged property and hurled objects at officers, police said. Nineteen officers were injured.

Israeli media reported that several people among the unauthorized crowd were hurt.

At least one officer was suspended for pushing an older man to the ground, and police said it was examining other incidents from the site.

This year’s festival was cancelled due to the genocide in Gaza and emerging repercussions from Lebanon’s Party of God.
