On Friday night, five people were killed and several injured in a shooting in the Jewish neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in east Jerusalem. This followed a deadly raid by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, which killed nine Palestinians and a tenth later north of Jerusalem. The incident has sparked international condemnation and raised tensions in the region, with the United Nations calling for an independent investigation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the attack and promising to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The protesters are concerned about the dismantling of Israeli democracy and human rights protections, and are determined to make their voices heard. Despite the pouring rain, the protests have been largely peaceful, with no reports of violence or arrests.
