Rioters threw stones and smashed the rear window of Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion’s car earlier today during a visit to the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim, Hebrew media reports.
Though Lion was inside the vehicle at the time, he was not harmed and continued with his schedule as planned.
While no injuries were reported, the vehicle sustained damage. Police were reportedly dispatched to the scene and launched extensive searches to track down the suspects.
The attack comes a week after ultra-Orthodox crowds targeted Haredi lawmakers Yoav Ben-Tzur of Shas in Jerusalem and Ya’akov Asher of United Torah Judaism in Bnei Brak over their cooperation in advancing legislation to regulate military conscription and exemptions for yeshiva students.
