Mirel Dzalovsky, a 40-year-old mother of 10, who was seriously wounded earlier this month after ultra-Orthodox protesters set ablaze and shoved a dumpster that hit her, has regained consciousness.

The Shaare Zedek Medical Center says Dzalovsky is awake and communicating, but remains in a serious condition on a ventilator.

Earlier today, police announced the arrest of a second suspect in the December 15 incident.

The demonstration erupted in response to the arrest of a man suspected of torching a cellphone store several months ago. Cellphone stores are sometimes targeted by religious extremists for not complying with “kosher rules” restricting the devices.
