Riots began Monday outside Israel’s national police headquarters in Jerusalem over the death of an Israeli teenager, who was killed in a car crash while involved in a police crash after being caught throwing rocks at Palestine on the West Bank.
Protesters stormed rocks and even vehicles passing by Arab citizens, blowing several gusts of wind. One of the drivers tried to make his way through the crowd of ultra-rectangular protesters and almost ran over an indicator.

Several Arab youths from nearby Sheikh Jarrah’s neighborhood began lobbying protesters in response. A Tit-for-tat stone was thrown in between the parties and passed shortly afterwards.

The Department of Internal Audit launched an investigation into the conduct of officers involved in the crash.
Meanwhile, Baruch Marzel’s most outspoken activist spoke at the protest and called for the establishment of a commission of inquiry to investigate the circumstances leading up to Sandak’s death.
“The crackdown on mountain truths ended today in a cold-blooded murder by police who are taught on a day-to-day basis to violate the rights of these boys, and now they have murdered one and injured the rest and continue to commit their crimes, “Marzel said.” A commission of inquiry must be set up to investigate the behavior towards a hilltop youth. “
