Today's Charedie Protests in Yerushalayim and Beit Shemesh Brought Death and Chaos

The protests were against doing an autopsy to find the cause of death of the 2 children, because of "Kavod Hames" 

What about "Koved" for those alive?

 A Chareidie protester has been wounded after he was run over by a vehicle at a demonstration in Jerusalem, Israel.


Video circulating from today’s protest in Bnei Brak shows young demonstrators behaving recklessly, swarming and aggressively striking a vehicle



A 17-year-old haredi youth was killed Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a bus near the entrance to the southern Israeli community of Komemiyut, emergency services said. 

The teenager had been returning with friends from a protest against proposed post-mortem examinations on infants who died at a daycare center. The fatal incident was the second time Tuesday that a Charedi protester was struck by a vehicle during demonstrations linked to the daycare case.

In Beit Shemesh the Lev HaRama Mall Ablaze: Chaos, Water Cannon, and Rocks on the Road*

This is how last night’s protest unfolded at Lev HaRama: a police water cannon clearing rocks that had blocked the road while spraying protesters; on the other side, young men directing hoses toward the water cannon.

In the background, a bonfire burned as participants gathered around it for warmth—while chaos reigned in the heart of Beit Shemesh 

 In Beit Shemesh Public Transportation  Disrupted Due to Protests
