A 22-year-old Arab woman from Kafr Qasim who struck a chareidi protester during Thursday night’s demonstration near the Geha Interchange was released without being questioned by police, according to a report by Channel 14, sparking outrage among protesters and members of the chareidi community.
According to the report, police released the driver after she requested medical treatment. Rather than questioning her immediately, authorities said she would be summoned for questioning at a later date. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
The incident occurred during demonstrations against the arrest of yeshiva bochurim, when the driver passed through the area and struck a 21-year-old chareidi protester.
According to Magen David Adom, emergency crews responded at approximately 6:38 p.m. to reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle near the Ganot Interchange. Paramedics treated the 21-year-old victim at the scene before transporting him to a hospital in moderate condition with injuries to his head and limbs.
The decision to release the driver before questioning has drawn sharp criticism, with many questioning how such a move would have been handled had the victim belonged to another sector of Israeli society.
Police have not announced whether any charges are expected, and the circumstances surrounding the collision remain under investigation.
Following the demonstrations, representatives of the Peleg Yerushalmi vowed that the protests would continue.
“The demonstrations are not going to stop—on the contrary, they are only expected to intensify and expand,” the group said in a statement. “The message from the thousands of protesters is clear: Leave the Yeshiva Bochurim alone, and there will be peace here. Continue persecuting them, and you will discover that life here will not return to normal.”

To physically insure a charedy is ok – breaking a window brings a weeklong arrest to dozens chareidy protesters not part of it – ISRAEL IS AN APARTHEID STATE!
If YWN is serious about caring for frum blood, you can do your part by deleting the accounts of all the inciters (DrYidd and some others) that cheer and call for more violence against Torah Jews.
You can be pro Zionist if you are stupid, but at incitement, lines must be drawn and some account here clearly overtake them. Their incitement endangers us and our bretheren in Israel and abroad.
There is no reason to keep them here, freedom of speech is not a Jewish value.
What do you mean it was criticized? you stand or sit in middle of the street you get hit, you are asking for it. the person should have been run over and killed.
It was probably a genuine accident. Otherwise they would have given her a medal.
NO. You cannot run over people whom you think are in your way. And you ought to be arrested and your license revoked if you do. But honestly, after watching footage of the melee of other protests, with cars being rocked and tipped over, this Arab woman was justifiably scared. And while she shall pay for what she did, its almost understandable.
maybe blocking traffic is not a good idea, you think??
They should keep escalating until no more Yeshiva Bochurim ever get arrested for studying תורה, even if this means burning down sohlberg’s & maira bahara’s houses, or/& physically obliterating them.
i dont understand, what makes people who block streets, so people die cuz ambulances cant get through, people miss appointments cuz stuck in traffic so great, and how could you call them yeshiva bachurim? they are animals and destructive idiots, i know you wont post this but at least you see it. they are not better than Nazis. i don’t care who toldthem. what makes these people great and rabanim? what is the question, you block the street you get run over. if you are stupid enough to stand in the street you deserve it!!!
where did we have this in our history – “Torah students” blocking streets to demand government policies that favor them over the rest of the population?
When Herod tried to incite Bava Ben Buta against himself, the latter did not follow and led Herod to do teshuva when he saw that Rabbis would not find the government that was out to murder them.
In our days, would anyone behave like this in a non-Jewish country? I say it is Zionist fault that they raised a generation of Torah Jews who are so boldly standing for their privileges. Maybe some will think this is “Kochi” and a good thing, but I am ashamed.
It’s stunning how if this would happen in any other country, you would have all the “Frum” organizations howling to the world about how it has to stop, but because it’s the idol doing it, the only sound we hear from them is crickets.
@dont:
No, you don’t understand. You also have it totally backwards.
In Western societies, of which the Zionist paradise claims to be a proud part, protests are permitted. These desperate Jews are protesting how they have been made illegal, cannot get driver’s licenses, cannot leave the “country” and are being compelled to be shmaded in the Zionist army.
Your epithet would be far more appropriately applied to the “Jewish” storm troopers pulling yeshiva bochurim from their beds in the middle of the night all because those boys don’t want to be stripped of their Judaism in the Zionist army.
There is a right to protest; there is no right to obstruct traffic. In NO civilized country are “protests” allowed to block the road and obstruct people going about their lawful business. Anyone who does so deserves to be run over. I understand that Florida now has a law allowing this; all other states should do the same, including Israel.
