Dozens of far-right activists rioted in Yerushalayim on motzei shavvos over the case of Ahuvia Sandak, a 16-year-old who was killed in a car crash last year while fleeing from police, allegedly after throwing rocks at Palestinians.
Four police officers were injured as demonstrators hurled bottles and stones and used pepper spray against them, according to the Israel Police. Two police cars were damaged.
Police said 21 protesters were arrested over the violence at the Chords Bridge, near the entrance to the city. Demonstrators also disrupted traffic in the area, according to police.
Sandak’s death has sparked clashes between police and protesters over the past year, with the protesters claiming police were responsible for his death and demanding legal action.
A similar protest was held Friday at the same location. During that protest, demonstrators hurled rocks and other objects at responding officers, smashed a police vehicle’s windows and injured at least one officer. Police forcibly cleared the demonstrators from the intersection at the entrance to the city. At least 10 protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct and for assaulting police officers, including Sandak’s fiancee, Shalhevet Goldstein, according to Hebrew media reports.
