An undercover police vehicle was attacked during Wednesday's Haredi protest on Highway 4, according to a report by journalist Eli Hirshman on N12. The vehicle required medical treatment afterward. A suspect was arrested and his detention was extended by a court.
The incident is the latest in a wave of confrontations between protesters and drivers, and between protesters and police, during demonstrations against the arrest of military draft evaders. Earlier this week, a police officer was suspended after being filmed kicking a protester on the same highway. In separate incidents, a driver who struck a protester turned herself in, and several other collisions and confrontations were reported.
The full circumstances of the attack on the undercover vehicle remain under investigation.
