Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Yossi Deutsch was attack by zealots in Meah Shearim on Shabbos as he was heading to a tisch at Slonim. This is the second time he was attacked in as many months as was the case with Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush.

This latest attack occurred on Friday night when a number of extremists noticed him making his way through Meah Shearim. When attacked he was walking with a son as shouts of ‘Chardak’ were directed at him as some people began running towards him to see what they thought was a religious soldier walking in the area. Attackers picked up and threw what they could at him and his son. Police are investigating.
