Israeli police raided a henna celebration for groom Mahmoud Mustafa Afan Mohamad in the Shagur neighborhood of Um al-Fahm on Saturday evening, Shehab Wire reported. Officers threw sound grenades among the assembled guests and forced attendees to leave the venue.
The incident marked the latest disruption of a Palestinian gathering in the territory occupied since 1948. The raid drew renewed attention to patterns of police intervention targeting Palestinians in the area, renewing longstanding complaints about law enforcement conduct during community events and celebrations in the occupied territories.
