An unusually violent protest in Jerusalem on Tuesday saw stun grenades detonated near demonstrators, injuring at least two people who were taken to the hospital. Among the injured was a 10-year-old boy, who sustained moderate injuries to his eye and was evacuated with his father. The protest, which lasted about two hours and concluded around 6 p.m. at the Maran Junction, was described by witnesses as exceptionally intense.
Following the demonstration, police stated that "disruptors" blocked traffic entering the city, impacting local life. Jerusalem District Police, Border Police, and the Yasam unit worked to reopen the roads. Police reported that the disruptors eventually left, and traffic flow was restored, with forces remaining to maintain public order.
Separately, at a protest near Bnei Brak, three individuals were arrested on suspicion of assaulting police officers. Police claim hundreds of protesters clashed with officers, blocked the road, and obstructed traffic. Despite a police announcement declaring the protest illegal, demonstrators reportedly continued to disregard orders and block the road physically.
