Tens of thousands of people participated in the funeral procession on foot, which began from the Porat Yosef yeshiva in the Geula neighborhood of Jerusalem.
Approximately 500 Jerusalem District police officers, Border Police officers, and police reinforcements, under the command of Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Doron Turgeman, operated in security missions, maintaining public order, and directing traffic, in order to maintain public peace and safety, while minimizing disruption to the daily lives of area residents and road users as much as possible.
In addition to police activity on the ground, the commanders of the various units were assisted by drones and a helicopter from the Israel Police's aerial unit, which helped to form a real-time picture of the situation.
The operational preparedness, led by the Jerusalem Police District, also included an increased deployment of emergency and rescue forces, and coordination with the MDA, the HV, and the local authority.
Like Ben, preliminary coordination and continuous dialogue were made with the family members and the organizers, which greatly assisted in the proper conduct of the funeral procession.
28 lightly injured people were treated during the funeral procession by United Hatzalah medical teams.
Eli Pollak, CEO of United Hatzalah: "United Hatzalah ambulances, with the assistance and medical accompaniment of volunteer paramedics and medics from MDA and United Hatzalah, provided medical care for the funeral procession participants. The volunteers in the United Hatzalah motorcycle unit (Opnolances) also provided rapid medical response to a number of medical cases and minor traffic accidents that occurred on the roads near the funeral procession location.".
