A bottle was thrown toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s convoy near Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda Market late Thursday, prompting police and security personnel to search for the person responsible. Netanyahu had made a campaign visit to the market lasting about 20 minutes, and the convoy was leaving when the incident occurred. Footage showed officers and guards jumping over security barriers and running toward the crowd as they searched. No injuries or arrests had been reported when the initial accounts were published; the reports did not identify the person who threw the bottle.
