Police have fired tear gas to break up a demonstration against the Islamic Movement by extreme right-wing activists in an Arab town in northern Israel.
Security officials were put on high alert in anticipation of the provocative demonstration in Umm el-Fahm, taking place this morning.
There have been reports of clashes and of activists throwing stones.
The march was organised to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the death of extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, killed by an Eygptian-American terrorist.
