A noise complaint in Modi'in escalated into a violent disturbance on Thursday night, resulting in three police officers being assaulted and seven minors arrested.

The incident began when police received a report regarding loud noise and a large gathering on Moshe Sharett Street in Modi'in. Officers from the local police station arrived at the scene within minutes, encountering dozens of teenagers causing a disturbance and breaching public order.

As officers attempted to restore order, three of them were attacked by members of the crowd. Three 16-year-old minors were initially detained at the scene on suspicion of assaulting police officers and disrupting public order.

Following questioning at the police station, one minor was released under restrictive conditions, while two others were remanded in custody. On Friday morning, the two suspects were brought before the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court, which granted the police request and extended their detention until Sunday.

In the course of the ongoing investigation, four additional minors were arrested and questioned, bringing the total number of detainees in the case to seven. Police stated that the operation is part of an ongoing effort to combat juvenile delinquency and violent behavior through proactive enforcement alongside community awareness programs.
