Betar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein spoke with Kol Chai Radio explaining the protest held by residents on erev Shabbos due to the daily rock-throwing attacks on the Hussan Bypass Road.

He added residents do not and should not have to drive to and from home under threat of such attacks, demanding the army take a firmer position in addressing rock-throwing against motorists towards halting them entirely.
