A man is in moderate condition after he was hit by a vehicle on Golda Meir Boulevard in Jerusalem, the Magen David Adom emergency service says.
The man, aged around 18, appears to have been hit during a protest by Haredi men against the planned autopsies of two babies who died in unclear circumstances at an unlicensed daycare in Jerusalem’s Romema neighborhood yesterday.
