Israeli forces arrest two imams for loud volume from mosque speakerphones

Israeli forces arrested two Palestinian imams in the city of Lod, known as Lydd to Palestinians, on Sunday, according to Haaretz. 

The imams were arrested "on suspicion of emitting especially high volume from their mosque's public address system".

Attorney Khaled Azbarka, who represents the imams, told Haaretz that "the police have turned into the executive arm of the [government's] extremists' agenda, and are leading the country into unprecedented chaos".

Azbarka said the mosque's volume has always been the same and that bringing the religious leaders' into questioning "is an expression of a dangerous religious war which Lod's police and mayor are behind".
