- Hi-power skunk cannon used in an attempt to group ultra-orthodox protesters
- But a passerby blasted is by the torrent of water and is sent flying to the ground
- Demonstrators were protesting in the streets against army conscription in Israel

The hi-power water cannon was being used in an attempt to disperse the group of activists in Jerusalem, who were protesting army conscription in the country.
As police sent a powerful torrent of water flying the protesters’ way, the woman began crossing the street, only to be struck with water from the riot-control cannon.
The barrage sends her flying several feet and she is left lying in a pool of water as the protesters continue their demonstration.
