Police arrest dozens of suspected agitators, one of them with taser, nunchucks and other weapons; several government ministers among revelers

Police said they arrested roughly 50 suspects while securing Friday’s Pride Parade in Tel Aviv, including several who allegedly sought to harm the tens of thousands of revelers at the mass festival.

The arrests came amid a heavy police presence as the city’s Pride Parade returned after a year’s gap due to the virus. Organizers estimated the turnout at Friday’s event at 100,000, making it Israel’s largest event since the pandemic struck, and potentially one of the largest worldwide.

“About 50 suspects suspected of involvement in various offenses, including disturbing public order and attempted harm to police officers and participants, were detained and taken for questioning at the police station,” police said in a statement.

Among those nabbed was a man from Tel Aviv who police said was planning to attack participants. The man was caught with a taser, nunchucks and other items. Another six people were also arrested on suspicion that they had plotted to attack marchers, including two who were operating drones.

Later police detained a husband and wife from the mostly religious city of Beit Shemesh who attempted to force their way into the parade route and attacked police officers who prevented them from doing so.

Two Palestinians without legal documentation to be in Israel were arrested on the beach in Tel Aviv near the parade route while carrying knives.

Pride parades in Israel are held under heavy police presence, particularly since 2015 when an ultra-Orthodox extremist stabbed to death 16-year-old Shira Banki during the parade in Jerusalem.

Some 2,000 officers were dispatched to secure Friday’s Tel Aviv Pride Parade along with 1,000 ushers stationed along the route.

More than a dozen streets in Tel Aviv were shut most of Friday in order to enable the parade route. Police said they used cameras, drones and a helicopter to maintain safety from the air.
