Detained protesters break bus windows, try to flee

2 February 2017, 3:45 pm

Edit

A number of protesters who were taken out of the Amona settlement break the windows of the bus they were being transported in and try to flee the area, but are captured by police, eyewitnesses say.

The bus had stopped outside the adjacent Ofra settlement, as additional demonstrators, some of them people who were removed from Amona the day before, blocked the road.

A photo from the scene shows the front and back windows of the bus broken.
