Hundreds of people demonstrated tonight (Monday) across the country following the clashes in Jerusalem around the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the Temple Mount. Roads were blocked and tires set on fire all over the country, and in some places protesters threw stones at vehicles and police forces. MDA reported 15 people who were lightly injured in the stone-throwing and disorderly conduct, some of whom were evacuated to hospitals across the country.
A 25-year-old man was lightly injured by stones being thrown at his vehicle on Road 79. He was taken to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, where he suffered a limb injury.
