More on the Dicaprio Israel Incident Including Girlfriend's Dad Hurting Fingers

What? Overzealous photographers get beaten by celebrities bodyguards? This stuff only happens in Israel.

After DiCaprio and Rafaeli had been ferried away, the two bodyguards still at the scene "literally started hitting and punching the photographers," shutterbug Orel Cohen, who works for the Flash 90 photo agency in Ma'ariv, told the Jerusalem Post.

Of course, the photographers were also swarming around the van like flies at the time, per some grainy video shot at the scene that has since surfaced on the Internet.

The police were called and seven of the photogs, three of whom were injured, went to the police station to enter complaints. Officers picked up the guards for questioning and released them a short time later.



Let me just quickly sum up this article for you. Dicaprio goes to Israel to visit a Wall that's very important to a lot of people. As soon as he drives aways his bodyguards beat the out of the photographers. The photogs complain, police not sure yet if they will press charges. The girlfriends dad twists some fingers which leads to broken equipment. Blah, Blah, Blah. What's this?

The spokesman also said that DiCaprio refused to be photographed for the Western Wall's Website, which features pictures of past celebrity tourists who were a little less camera-shy.
I spend the next twenty minutes of my life searching for these photos but can only find Willem Dafoe. Booorrriiinnnggg. Someone find them for me please.
