A video of a protester punching a woman in the face at a protest in Tel Aviv on Saturday night has surfaced and spread through Israeli media.
In the brief video, the suspect and the woman can be seen shouting at each other before he punches her in the head, and then bystanders intervene, separating the two. After that, the video ends.
It is unclear which of the two was protesting the government based on the footage or if the altercation started from something else entirely.
