On 14 September 2015 Alexander Levlovich (64) was killed by Palestinian stone-throwing as he drove home from a dinner celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Attack
Levlovich lost control of his car when it was hit by rocks thrown by Arabs while driving on Asher Viner Street in East Jerusalem, near the Palestinian neighborhood of Sur Baher. The car hit an electricity pole, causing fatal injuries. Two passengers were lightly injured.
Still alive after the crash, Levlovich was rushed to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, but died on the day of the crash. Levlovich's funeral was attended by "hundreds", including Nir Barkat, Mayor of Jerusalem, and Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan.
Impact
The crime came at a time when Israel was increasing legal penalties for criminal rock throwing. Levlovich's killing was part of a year-long increase in the shooting of fireworks and throwing of stones and Molotov cocktails by Arabs at Jewish targets in the areas of Jerusalem where Jews and Arabs live adjacent to one another.
Immediately after the attack, the Prime Minister called a meeting to discuss, "the war on stone throwing and fire bombs in Jerusalem and its vicinity." The Israeli ministers of defense, public security, justice and transport were called to the meeting, as were officials from the State Attorney's and the Attorney General's offices and defense department officials.
On the night of the attack the Prime Minister's Office issued a statement, saying that, "The prime minister views with great severity the throwing of stones and firebombs at Israeli citizens, and intends to fight the phenomenon by all means, including increasing penalties and enforcement."
During a tour of the area where the deadly attack occurred, the Prime Minister said, “We’re changing the policy to a war on stone-throwers, not just in Jerusalem and the roads leading to it, but also in the Galilee and the Negev."
Immediate response
In response to this killing and to a recent increase in "stone-throwing, firebombs and rioting" in Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, the government announced a temporary security "crackdown" that will involve stationing an additional 800 security officers in the area during the remainder of September and the month of October.
