Protesters Attacked, Vehicle Attempts to Ram Them at Kabri Junction

A violent confrontation occurred Saturday evening around 6:00 PM at the Kabri Junction in the Western Galilee, during a protest. According to witnesses, a vehicle approaching from the direction of Ma'alot stopped at the junction, and the driver began shouting insults and accusations at the demonstrators. The driver then allegedly attempted to drive her vehicle towards protesters standing at a crosswalk, an act described by witnesses as an attempted ramming.

Witnesses also reported that the assailant used a flag pole to attack additional protesters and broke two flags. No physical injuries were reported in the incident, though a commotion ensued. The protest was one of dozens held across Israel on Saturday evening, targeting the Prime Minister, the government, and the judicial overhaul. These protests coincided with memorial ceremonies for victims of the October 7th massacre.

Protest sites included the Coastal Highway, bridges at Ma'agan Michael and Ne'urim, the Zichron Yaakov junction, Highway 6 at the Elyakim bridge, Nahalal junction, Kabri, Ghetto Fighters, Alonim junction, Nahariya, Haifa, and Karkur. Protesters stated, "We are the fighters for democracy, we have protected a democratic Israel through three and a half years of struggle, and we will bring victory over the Halachic tyranny of the Netanyahu government."
