Eighth-grade students at Hannah Senesh School in Herzliya attacked an Arab teacher who tried to break up a fight between students. The Teachers' Union announced a one-hour suspension of classes at the school, and the administration filed a police complaint. In addition, students spat in the face of an Arab assistant who tried to prevent the violence. After the attack, the students chased the teacher in the school parking lot while shouting racist slurs. The Herzliya municipality responded that it would not ignore the incident and would take legal action against those involved. About six months ago, Teachers' Union chairman Ran Erez declared a labor dispute in secondary education due to a lack of support for teachers amid a rise in violent incidents.
