A large force of Israeli Police and its
gendarmerie, the "Israel Border Police", raided, Wednesday afternoon,
the headquarters of the Communist Party, demanding to take down the
Palestinian flag.
Comrades of Nazareth confronted the police forces and refused them access to the building. The Police did not possess any warrant, and called for backup, climbed walls, removed the Palestinian flag and the red flags, and confiscated them, all while arresting the secretary of the party in Nazareth.
