An anti-Israel mob clashed with counter-protesters near a Brooklyn synagogue on Monday night – less than a week after a similar demonstration rocked Manhattan.

At least three people were detained after agitators swarmed the area near the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, which was hosting an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank.

The anti-Israel mob chanted “Palestine is ours alone” and several carried a wide banner that read “Israel is killing children.”

During one fight, a person who concealed their face with a medical mask yanked a girl’s hair — and nearly threw her against a parked car in the process, according to a video obtained by The Post.

Shortly after, another man squared up against a squad of young men carrying a Palestinian flag.

“Let’s go motherf–kers, c’mon! C’mon motherf–kers!” the man yelled.

At least two teenage pro-Israel protesters were detained. As the NYPD marched them down the streets, their supporters followed and chanted for the cops to “let them go.”

The whirlwind demonstration mirrored another protest that wreaked havoc at the historic Park East Synagogue in Manhattan on May 5.

Both were organized by anti-Israel activist group Pal-Awda NY/NJ, which promoted the rallies with slogans such as “No settlers on stolen land” and “Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land.”

“Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land. The people of New York will not stand by while the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people is aided and abetted by institutions in our own city,” the group wrote in response to New York state Sen. Sam Sutton’s condemnation.

The same organization previously spearheaded another rally at the Park East Synagogue, where roughly 200 demonstrators jeered at attendees during an event hosted by Nefesh B’nefesh, a Zionist group that helps Jews immigrate from the US to Israel.

In the wake of the first demonstration, City Council Speaker Julie Menin pitched a “buffer zone” law that would require the NYPD to erect temporary fencing around synagogues and other houses of worship to protect congregants during protests.

Under the law, the NYPD must develop plans to contain the risk of obstruction, injury, intimidation and interference around houses of worship when protests are imminent — including deciding whether a security perimeter is necessary.

The law was enacted on April 25 and set a 45-day deadline for the NYPD to propose its plan to Menin and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s respective offices.

A spokesperson for Menin told The Post that the NYPD has not submitted its proposal as of Monday.
