Israeli police have arrested a Palestinian man dressed as Santa Claus.
On Sunday, police closed down a Christmas party in Haifa, confiscated technical equipment, and arrested a Palestinian man dressed as Santa Claus, as well as a DJ and a street vendor.
Israeli police said the man dressed as Santa Claus resisted arrest and attacked a police officer.
Meanwhile, Christmas celebrations were held in Bethlehem for the first time since the start of the war in Gaza.
In war-torn Gaza, where Israeli bombing has killed more than 70,000 people and destroyed much of the infrastructure, the small Christian community celebrated Christmas for the first time since the ceasefire began. Christmas trees and glittering decorations added color to the ruins of Gaza.
