A small number of young women gathered on Tuesday afternoon, 21 Shevat, on the road near the site of the fatal stabbing attack that claimed the life of area resident Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal HY”D, 29, of Har Bracha.

The protest took place about the same time of the attack did, albeit a day later.

Police and IDF forces were on the scene and a number of arrests were made.

Honenu officials released a statement that police used unjustifiable force at the scene against the women.
