Clashes broke out between protesters, police, and residents of Israel’s Kfar Uriah  village where National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was spending the weekend on Saturday, The Times of Israel reported.

Police said they arrested a man who threw rocks at the demonstrators, and two protesters were detained on suspicion of disturbing public order and refusing to obey a police officer’s instructions.

The group of demonstrators arrived in Kfar Uriah when they heard the far-right minister was spending the weekend there.

Residents were angered by their presence, with some shouting “stinking leftists should die,” according to a reporter from the Haaretz daily. One resident reportedly removed his pants and exposed himself to the protesters.

According to the Ynet news site, smoke grenades, rocks, and firecrackers were thrown toward the protesters, and some were sprayed with a fire extinguisher.

The Walla news site said that some residents of the village came out to support the protesters. Others were said to be angered by the noise and disruption outside the synagogue where Ben Gvir was praying.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.
