Tensions escalated outside a Brooklyn synagogue hosting Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as anti-Israel protesters and Hasidic locals clashed. The protests began at the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters, coinciding with Ben-Gvir's address to his followers. Violence ensued, with police arresting six individuals, including Oscar Vidal, who faced serious charges. Footage showed protesters being forcibly removed, and amidst the chaos, one individual stormed the gathering yelling 'Free Palestine'. This incident follows a similar protest in Connecticut as public backlash against Ben-Gvir continues to grow.
At least one keffiyeh-wearing protester was seen being escorted away with blood on her face, highlighting the violence during the protests.
The chaos erupted as the Israeli official was speaking inside, with one protester chanting 'Free Palestine' before being removed.
