Police detained two right-wing activists for attacking law enforcement at a stormy protest at the entrance to Jerusalem tonight.
Hundreds of young men gathered under the Chords Bridge earlier to protest the wounding of a 14-year-old boy by gunfire over a week ago, during a settler riot against soldiers attempting to evacuate an illegal West Bank outpost.
The right-wing legal aid group Honenu claims that the boy was injured by IDF gunfire, although the army has rejected this, insisting that no live fire was used by soldiers at the scene that night.
Protesters in Jerusalem tonight “began disrupting public order by blocking traffic lanes” near Chords Bridge, say police.
Officers declared the protest illegal and attempted to push the protesters onto nearby sidewalks, leading to scuffling between law enforcement and right-wing activists.
Police say a female officer was lightly injured by demonstrators during the clashes.
