Hundreds protest gov’t response, block roads in capital

Hundreds of people are blocking traffic at the Bridge of Strings in Jerusalem in protest of the government’s response to the killing of Eyal Yifrach, 19, Naftali Fraenkel, 16, and Gil-ad Shaar, 16.

Police are at the scene.

The demonstration is led by right-wing activists Michael Ben-Ari, Baruch Marzel, and Itamar Ben Gvir, who are calling on the Knesset for a strong military retaliation to the killing, the NRG news website reported.
