Driver Seen Pointing Gun at Haredi Protesters on Highway 1

During a car protest on Highway 1, the main route between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, a civilian driver was filmed pulling a handgun on Haredi demonstrators. The clip shows him driving slowly past the protesters and extending the weapon out of the window toward a group of young Haredi men standing by the road.

The footage was released by the protest organizers’ spokespersons. They described the incident as a “threat of murder” and urged police to act immediately against “the instigators and those incited,” adding, “Enough with the violence!”

The report says no shots were fired during the incident. The article also notes that violence has escalated during the convoy protest, and that a Haredi deputy mayor was assaulted and choked during the same vehicle procession.
