Police acted against dozens of seafarers who violated the closure instructions on the beaches of Tel Aviv and Herzliya • Some were given reports and one was even arrested

A stranger coming to the beach in Tel Aviv this morning would have thought that it was at least an infiltration of terrorists and not surfers who came to the beach without endangering anyone. There were many police officers on the spot, while in the sea, boats of naval policing and over a long minute, a police helicopter hovered.

The few surfers who arrived this morning on the beaches of Tel Aviv and Herzliya, did not believe that the Tel Aviv District Police, under the command of Chief David Pavilion, would allocate so much money and resources to the police just to send them home.

Shortly after the surfers arrived, boats and motorcycles from the maritime police arrived on the shore, and these called for skiers to leave, and all the while, a police helicopter hovered and they waited on the beach, careful not to wet their uniforms.

The policemen obeyed the instructions and left the scene. Unanswered surfers were given reports and one of the surfers, 32, from Tel Aviv, who refused to get out of the water and confronted the police at sea, was arrested. "
