More friction in the north? The police are also preparing on Thursday morning with reinforced forces for the continuation of the construction of wind turbines in the northern Golan, out of concern that residents of Druze villages in the Golan will try to disrupt the work.

Tonight, the leaders of the Druze community gathered in the village of Yassif in the Western Galilee and called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to stop the work in order to find a solution. However, according to a statement by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, the work is expected to continue.

The community leaders asked that the work be halted until after Eid al-Adha, which is marked next weekend.
During yesterday's riots, 27 protesters and police were injured. Thousands of rioters broke into the police post in the village of Restaurant and vandalized police cars. The police used machismo and crowd control devices to keep the rioters away, who fired live ammunition in the air, threw stones and fireworks at the officers.
Throughout the north, many roads were blocked for hours and large traffic jams prevented many residents of the north from returning to their homes at the end of the working day.
