[PHOTOS BELOW] The following was submitted to TLS by a Lakewood resident in Eretz Yisroel for Pesach:

Hi, I am writing to submit a news report and to humbly submit thanks to Hashem Yisborach for the Nes that occurred to me in the Har Hazeisim vicinity today, Wednesday, Chol Hamoed.

I drove a rental car to the Kosel to drop off my wife and baby, sister and nephew. I then drove around the old city walls to return to the Kosel to pick them up.

At the final traffic light before the Kosel (across from the ascent to Har Hazeisim), the police told me I could not turn right towards the Kosel as the road was closed due to the heavy traffic. They directed me to drive towards Har Hazeisim.
I drove as directed and I continued on past Maale Zeitim. Immediately after that, I saw that the road ended and I tried to turn around.

Several Arab kids, the oldest looking to be about 14 years old, noticed me and threw a huge rock into my back window, completely smashing the window. Another kid threw more stones into the two back windows.

I finally turned back around just as the oldest boy opened the front passenger door. B’chasdei Hashem, he only dropped in a small rock instead of throwing it directly at me.

I found a police mini campus just down the road and I reported the incident.

B’hashgochos Protis, we originally planned that my wife would leave our baby in the car, but at the last second my wife decided to take the baby with her to the Kosel, sparing her. As you can see from the attached pictures, had my baby been in the car with me, the situation would have been very dangerous.

Moishy,
Lakewood, NJ resident
