TEL AVIV – A dramatic video making the rounds on social media shows a man being arrested by police in full protective gear in Tel Aviv for apparently violating his home quarantine.

The man, 47, was arrested on Bograshov Street, a main road in central Tel Aviv, after a report circulated he had broken his self-quarantine a second time, police said in a statement. The first arrest was last Friday at a train station, where he had attacked security guards.

“The police call on the public to listen to directives and instructions from the Health Ministry; not following them disrupts the national effort to fight the outbreak of the virus and its spread in Israel,” a statement from Israel Police said.

Police also demanded people abstain from “spreading fake news” about coronavirus in Israel.

“Additionally, there is an absolute prohibition on spreading fake news whose sole purpose is to plant panic throughout the public. Relevant and authoritative information, including updates and official directives, will be published only by authorized officials and on the Health Ministry website.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday said the government will employ “counter-terrorism measures” and digital tracking technologies using GPS data from cellphones to track COVID-19.

“We will very soon begin using technology… digital means that we have been using in order to fight terrorism,” Netanyahu said.

“We are at war with an invisible enemy,” the premier said.
