Police officers clash with demonstrators during a protest following the death of Ahuvia Sandak during a police chase, outside the police headquarters in Jerusalem, December 26, 2020 (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
Hundreds of right-wing protesters clashed with cops in Jerusalem Saturday evening, over the death of a young settler in a car crash while fleeing police after allegedly throwing stones at Palestinians. Eleven policemen were injured, and two toddlers were hit by water from a police cannon.
Protests have been held nightly in Jerusalem and elsewhere since the death on Monday of 16-year-old Ahuvia Sandak in the central West Bank.
The demonstrators rioted outside the national police headquarters, blocking roads and the light rail tracks, according to a police statement, which said protesters also hurled rocks at officers, 11 of whom were injured.
