What is already causing uproar is the fact that an attempt is being made to create an atmosphere of fear in the country through the use of law-enforcement authorities and, in many cases, special forces. This is what lawyer Amram Makinyan wrote on his Facebook page.

“It is very clear that the police are crossing the limits of their powers as provided for by law. As a human rights activist, I demand an explanation for the grounds for apprehending active citizens through the use of special forces and physical force,” the lawyer wrote.
