Today's Video Focus: Police violently cracked down on protesters and arrested at least 15 after hundreds blocked a downtown street in Tel Aviv late Friday following the cancellation of a trance music festival. Protesters had gathered on Rabin Square after police canceled Doof music festival citing intelligence, that drugs were planned to be sold at the venue in Golan Heights. "[They canceled the event] less than 24 hours before the event was about to begin, after they [the organizers] worked on it for 6 months, investing hundreds of thousands of Israeli shekels, they paid the police for security and had all the licenses," said a trance music producer. In a bid to reverse the police's decision, organizers had appealed to both the Nazareth Magistrate's Court and Israeli Supreme Court but were rejected.

Focus of the Day Article:

Reported rapes have soared, but cases reaching court have plummeted. That’s why women’s groups are taking legal action. The CPS is denying justice to thousands by secretly changing rape prosecution rules.
