Witnesses told Haaretz that the forces used force while making the arrests in full view of residents and families attending the celebrations. One of the detainees was reportedly injured in the shoulder after being struck by the forces and later sought medical treatment following his release.
Videos circulating on social media also show Israeli police entering the area and interrupting a traditional dabke dance performed by a group of teenagers, ordering the music and dancing to stop.
