According to eyewitness accounts and video footage circulating from the scene, a public bus sped toward a group of demonstrators who were standing along the traffic artery on Rechov Yirmiyahu, near Shamgar Junction. The bus plowed into the protesters, striking several of them and continuing through the intersection without stopping to render assistance.
Emergency forces from Magen David Adom and the Tzvet Hatzalah were rushed to the scene in large numbers. Paramedics and EMTs provided urgent medical care to several victims suffering from varying degrees of injury, with some reported to be in serious condition. One young man was pronounced dead after becoming trapped beneath the wheels of the bus.
According to Magen David Adom, the incident appears to have unfolded in two stages. A bus first struck three pedestrians on Shamgar, leaving them with minor injuries, then continued driving and hit another pedestrian on Ohel Yehoshua, causing critical injuries.
At the scene on Shamgar, MDA medics and paramedics treated three lightly injured victims—boys aged approximately 14 and 17—who were transported to Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center for further care.
On Ohel Yehoshua, responders found a critically injured young man, about 18 years old, trapped beneath the bus. Despite extensive rescue efforts, he was pronounced dead.
What moments earlier had been chants and calls of protest quickly turned into scenes of chaos, shock, and anguish. The sounds of the demonstration were replaced by screams and cries as onlookers struggled to comprehend the horrific images before them.
Police said in a statement that the bus struck protesters amid disturbances during the demonstration and that the incident is under thorough investigation.
The driver of the bus was detained and taken in for questioning, as authorities work to determine whether the incident resulted from a loss of control or a more serious and deliberate act.
Can anyone deny that the Brisker Rav zt”l was right when he would not allow his students to go protesting because, as he said, “The Zionists are choshud of shfichas domim, they can’t be trusted.”
They lucky, because the Zionist are apt to nuke them all ch”v.
Do they expect chareidim to join an army of reshaim?
Where you screaming against protester before now? Could anyone watching Peleg protests be so blind as to see the danger they were putting themselves in?
And, no it isn’t only “Zionists” In the US where protesting in the streets is far less common in 2020-2021 there were 139 cases of vehicles hitting protesters and three of them getting killed.
This is without writing the secular version of how this story is being reported.
Protesting is the only way to get through the evil unelected judges running the country.
Protesters should not stand in middle of highways to block it, but should make huge strong billboards from steel to be held across highways where cars will get damaged if they try to break it.
