A police force was attacked early Saturday morning during an attempt to disperse a mass brawl in Sakhnin.
Police arrived at the scene after receiving a report of a brawl that developed between two families, involving dozens involved.
During the fight, various objects and stones were thrown.
When the police arrived at the scene, the participants in the brawl threw stones at the police and at the vehicles.
A policeman was hit in the head by a stone thrown at him and the police vehicle was damaged.
Five people have been arrested for involvement in a brawl and on suspicion of assaulting police officers.
On Saturday night, they will be brought to court for a hearing, with a request from the police to extend their detention.
Police said the investigation is ongoing and further arrests are expected.
As mentioned, the police have recently been absorbing a lot of violence from residents, whether it is during policing operations to reduce violence in Arab society or in an attempt to enforce the corona guidelines.
Only on Thursday this week, severe riots broke out in Bnei Brak, after the two cases in which three policemen were lightly injured.
Large police forces, including YSM personnel, arrived in the city with the aim of dispersing the yeshiva students responsible for the violent riot. Six suspects were arrested for disturbances and taken for questioning.
