these Peleg protesters are pretty stupid. In yesterday's protests they escalated the conflict by attacking police with pepper spray and tear gas. I don't really have a problem with that as they are fighting with the police, the police spray them with "boash", which I am not sure how to translate but is some sort of skunk fragrance spray, and water cannon and use other methods of aggressiveness, so the protesters act in kind. It is part of the process. Even though I would not condemn it, I do think it is stupid.
They may think they are cool right now and they got the upper hand on those cops, at some point escalating and attacking the cops will cause the cops to escalate. I would not be surprised if at some point we see the police start shooting rubber bullets into the mass of protesters, and maybe even eventually live fire. It seems to me to be the natural progression of such escalations.
