Thousands of strictly Orthodox teenagers have attempted to stop the Women of the Wall from holding a service at the Western Wall.
Early on Friday morning, a police barricade stopped protesters from attacking the women who were given the legal right to pray at the wall in April. According to sources, the men were throwing rocks, water bottles and other items.
“They’re doing this to provoke us, and it’s an insult to Judaism,” said one protester.
Knesset members from Meretz, Tamar Zandberg and Michal Rozin, joined the Women of the Wall, while Likud MK Miri Regev stood in support of the protesters.
