The police clarified on Tuesday evening that the policy of containment regarding the Ethiopian community's protest would end in view of the violent events that took place within the framework of the protests.
"In light of the severe acts of violence on the part of many demonstrators, which led to the injury of dozens of police officers during the last 24 hours and the desecration of government symbols, Acting Commissioner Moti Cohen instructed not to allow any violence and to act firmly against lawbreakers," the police said.
"Accordingly, the police are now working to disperse the demonstrators and stop the violence using force and in order to prevent further damage to lives, property and road users," they added.
