Temple Mount clashes/Netanyahu/Policy change


 Here, in the heart of Jerusalem on a traffic island on a central road, a criminal stood and threw one rock after another into the windshield of Jerusalem residents, until he he succeeded in causing death – it is murder,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said that the rock that caused Levlovitz's death was “one rock too many, and we are declaring war on rioters and those who throw rocks and firebombs.”

The prime minister then went to another site that has recently been plagued by hurled rocks and petrol bombs – Road 443 to that leads from Modi'in to Jerusalem.

“We are changing the policy,” he said. “The current situation is unacceptable to us. We intend to give tools to the police and soldiers to act very aggressively against those who throw rocks and petrol-bombs.”

Netanyahu said that the open-fire regulations will be changed, minimum sentences will be set for those who throw rocks and firebombs, and that “I intend to massively increase fines again minors and their families to deter them.”
