Sabbath violence resumed in the Meah Shearim quarter for the first time in several weeks yesterday when zealot youths stoned two cars–one carrying officials of the Kol Yisrael radio network and the other carrying Israeli soldiers. While none of the occupants of the cars were injured, the windshields of both vehicles were smashed.

The culprits, described as between 10 and 17 years of age, were not apprehended. Inhabitants of the ultra-religious quarter said that the youths came from elsewhere and were unknown to them.
