Disturbing footage emerged from a protest in Jerusalem on Thursday, showing a police officer throwing a stun grenade that directly struck a Haredi demonstrator. The grenade hit the upper body of the protester before falling to the ground. The incident was captured by police correspondent Liran Tamari, who stated that the officer's action was against protocol and criticized the police's conduct. "Against regulations, and how many times can one explain how to throw a stun grenade???" Tamari questioned.
The video raises questions about the use of force during protests and the deployment of stun grenades near demonstrators. In parallel, Police Commissioner Danny Levi instructed commanders to "prepare accordingly and act decisively to prevent public disorder, road blockages, and disruption to daily life." He emphasized that while protest is a right, public disorder is not.
The police stated they would not permit road blockages or interference with citizens' lives, and any protest turning into disorder would be dispersed with "determination and zero tolerance." However, the Jerusalem footage casts doubt on whether police procedures are being strictly followed, even as the commissioner demands decisive action against those disrupting order. The police statement did not specifically address the video of the stun grenade hitting the protester.
