Hilltop Youth filmed waving weapons, singing anti-Zionist song at West Bank wedding - report

The activists were seen dancing to a song associated with Neturei Karta, an anti-Zionist and ultra-Orthodox Jewish group.

Far-right extremist group Hilltop Youth were captured on camera at a wedding in Gush Etzion, West Bank, wielding weapons and singing an anti-Zionist tune earlier this week, according to KAN News. The group is alleged to have performed "We don't believe in the rule of the infidels," a song linked to Neturei Karta, an anti-Zionist and ultra-Orthodox Jewish organization.

In the video, several of the extremists raised weapons high as the singer urged the audience, concluding the performance with the statement: "We'll break the Zionists' teeth." Attendees were also observed holding a banner referencing Ariel Dahari, a West Bank outpost resident who was charged for assaulting a Palestinian woman while harvesting olives near Ramallah last year.

Following the ceremony, Jewish rioters reportedly ignited a vehicle in the Palestinian village of Beit Umar, close to Gush Etzion, and spray-painted a message praising the newlyweds, referencing Dahari.
