4:00PM IL: According to reports from Meron, at Kever Rashbi, violent confrontations are taking place again. Representatives of the Eida Chareidis arrived from Yerushalayim, shouting on Tuesday bones were found and therefore, the digging must be halted.

The shouts and their effort to prevent the ongoing work resulted in a confrontation and additional violence.

On Tuesday, Eida mashgiach Rabbi Lazar Rothstein was arrested for trying to halt the work after bones that were uncovered were identified as human remains while the workers insisted they were animal bones.

Several tens of Yerushalmim arrived at the site leading to the confrontations.
