Police forces deployed stun grenades against protesters in Bnei Brak on Tuesday, an unusual escalation that led to at least two people requiring medical treatment. The demonstration, organized by "Haretzpenikim" and affiliated with the Yerushalmi faction, turned violent about an hour after it began.
According to police, the protest was declared illegal. "A police officer on the scene declared the demonstration illegal and despite attempts at dialogue, the rioters continue to gather at the site, shouting at the police forces. Police forces continue their activity," a police statement said.
The protest was initiated in the afternoon following the arrest of yeshiva student Alon Smadja the previous week. The demonstration is being held under the instruction of Rabbi Zvi Friedman, amid further claims of planned arrests against draft dodgers among yeshiva students.
Smadja, a student at the Tiferet Shraga Yeshiva in Jerusalem, was arrested at his home in the Beit Vagan neighborhood. Reports indicate that military police officers called him, claiming a delivery was waiting for him, and arrested him when he came down. Police had prepared for potential traffic disruptions and road closures on Highway 4 and on Jabotinsky Road in Bnei Brak.
