A difficult incident occurred overnight in Beit Shemesh, where initial reports indicate several Haredi protesters were injured during clashes with police forces near Lev HaRamah Square. Emergency medical teams, including "Tzeva Hatzala" and Magen David Adom (MDA), responded to multiple locations along the Yarden River street. They provided initial medical treatment to several individuals who sustained various injuries from shock grenades allegedly thrown by police. Medical evacuation data shows that rescue forces transported several injured individuals to the hospital. One person was evacuated from the entrance to the Lev HaRamah parking lot with a chest injury. A 15-year-old boy was taken from Yarden River street with a fracture. A 21-year-old young man was also evacuated from Yarden River street with amputated toes on his foot. Video footage appears to show shock grenades being thrown directly at young people, even though they were in a public playground area away from the road.
