A Magen David Adom team was attacked in Meah Shearim while trying to test for Coronavirus carriers in the neighborhood on Shabbos.
The attack took place on Zechariah HaRofeh Street in the neighborhood as one EMT put down the box of tested samples near the home of a patient whom they were testing.
He was hit by stones and household items that were thrown at him. He suffered minor injuries to his head and was taken to the hospital for care.
Additionally, a vehicle belonging to the city that was being used by MDA had its windshield smashed.

Words fail me! Are these people sane?
This story is a LIE.
The pictures are not from Zechariah HaRofeh Street, but from a section of Rechov HaNeviim in an Arab neighborhood, quite a few blocks away.
Anyone familiar with Meah Shearim – including almost any Bochur who attended the Mir – could tell you that Zechariah HaRofeh “Street” is a narrow pedestrian alley with almost no vehicle access, and certainly no bus stops.
