"9 Arrested After Riot Erupts Over Secret Synagogue Tunnel in NYC"

A clash between police and young Hasidic men at the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitcher movement in Brooklyn led to nine arrests after a secret tunnel connecting the movement's main synagogue was discovered and an attempt to block its filling with cement ensued. The conflict is part of a long-standing internal dispute within the movement over the future and expansion of the 770 Eastern Parkway building, with some members believing the tunnel was built to fulfill the wishes of the movement's deceased leader. The incident has sparked social media controversy and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
