Israeli police on Saturday prevented a large event planned for approximately 500 people in the Bedouin town of Hura in the Negev desert. The gathering was organized to honor a recently released security prisoner, Hadam Younis Abu Sharab, a 20-year-old resident of Hura.
Abu Sharab was imprisoned for attempting to murder Jews by throwing stones at the Shoket Junction on Highway 31 in March 2023. The event was initially slated to take place at a venue, but authorities did not approve it.
Intelligence indicated the event might be moved to Abu Sharab's home. In response, forces from the Rotem station in the Southern District were deployed. They dispersed the attendees from the location.
The Israel Police stated, "We will not allow events that harm public order or create friction and risk, and we will act decisively, with zero tolerance and all available means, against any attempt to break the law and harm public safety."
