A mass protest by ultra-Orthodox Jews against military conscription in Jerusalem turned deadly when a bus rammed into demonstrators, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring three others. The protest, organized by leading ultra-Orthodox rabbis associated with the Jerusalem Faction, saw fires set in the streets and chaotic scenes as young men and teenagers roamed the Romema neighborhood. The rally featured impassioned speeches denouncing the government's proposed draft regulation bill and criticizing political parties within the ultra-Orthodox community that support it. Authorities are preparing to charge the bus driver with aggravated murder as tensions remain high in the city.
