    Commander: 'Police feared for their lives, used reasonable force'

    Police Commander Ofer Shomer has responded to allegations that police used a disproportionate amount of force yesterday in Meah She'arim, in the course of which an 8-year-old girl was injured by a stun grenade.

    "The grenade wasn't directly thrown at the girl," Shomer said, adding that "police used a reasonable amount of force," and that "police feared for their lives" and acted accordingly.
