A close adviser to the mayor of Kiryat Shmona was arrested after scuffling with the security detail of Education Minister Yoav Kisch during his visit to the city. The adviser, Pe'er Laredo, attempted to enter a teachers' room where Kisch was located and physically confronted the guards. Laredo claims he wanted to discuss safety risks in the city's schools with Kisch. The mayor, Avichai Stern, opposed Kisch's visit and called it a cheap PR stunt.
