Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges calm after a bus driver ran over and killed a teenage boy during a protest. The incident happened Tuesday during a demonstration by thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews against a law seeking to draft them into Israel’s military. Netanyahu calls for restraint to prevent further tragedies. Police say the driver was attacked by protesters. He has been arrested and was being questioned. The violence highlights tensions over military exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox. Many secular Israelis support drafting them, but religious protesters claim it threatens their way of life. This issue poses a political challenge for Netanyahu.
