MK Dr. Michael Ben Ari manhandled by Magav policemen

Border Police attacking Knesset Member Michael Ben-Ari (Eretz Yisrael Shelanu-National Union) Monday afternoon after he demanded an explanation of why they were arresting minors and not allowing him to examine their condition. Ben Ari repeatedly told the soldiers that he is a Knesset member and is immune by law. The MK was hospitalized for light injuries.

The video shows the MK jumping on the hood of a Border Police jeep and agreeing to step down only after an officer would explain why police handcuffed juveniles and arrested them. No one stepped forward to explain.

Security officials said that Ben-Ari was interfering with arrests as police broke up a protest against the expulsion of Jews from hilltop communities and subsequent demolitions.
