Fight erupts at Israeli Memorial Day ceremony after Ben Gvir heckled

Fighting erupted at a Memorial Day ceremony in Israel after a person heckled far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Fighting continued outside the cemetery in Ashdod, where the ceremony was held, as people entered heated arguments over Israel's anti-government protests.

"Look what has happened to us," one man told an anti-government protesters, after telling him he should pray for Israel. "Why disturb us? Fuck off. Look what you’ve come to".

Police separated the opposing parties.
