Tonight (Thursday) during an activity of licensing inspectors in the city of Bnei Brak, an illegal gathering of ultra-Orthodox extremists began, during which the crowd noticed a vehicle with police officers on duty, threw stones at the vehicle, smashed windows and punctured tires. The crowd even tried to open the mobile doors, while the policemen sitting in the vehicle had to call for help and rescue. Following the incident, a policewoman was lightly injured.

“The police will not put up with blatant disturbances and damage to public order, with a real risk to the police and will work to bring the perpetrators to justice,” a police spokeswoman said.

The municipality of Bnei Brak stated: “The municipality strongly condemns the violent incident tonight against the Israeli police. “The city’s rabbis and hundreds of thousands of residents. This is a serious case of a group of boys who must be brought to justice. This exceptional event cannot tarnish a relationship of respect and cooperation with the police and security forces in recent months.”

MK Moshe Arbel (Shas) wrote in response to the attack on the police: “I express shock and disgust from a disturbed mob dressed as ultra-Orthodox who physically harmed Israeli police officers. Barbarism of this kind has no place in our camp and in society we want life. I expect law enforcement to prosecute these rioters. They are not anxious. “

Also the chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, MK Avigdor Lieberman Commenting on the incident, he posted on his Twitter account: “Tonight’s lynching in Bnei Brak is crossing all the red lines. This is not just a riot but a new kind of terrorism and the treatment must be accordingly. The city must be closed to those entering and leaving “We will not accept a state of state within a state.”

Jacob Wieder, Chairman of the Likud faction in the Bnei Brak municipality, in response to the attack: “IDF soldiers and members of the security forces are loved and wanted in Bnei Brak. That violent handful does not represent the residents of Bnei Brak, on the contrary, and the same people attacked rabbis who dared not agree with him. To exhaust with them the full severity of the law and deprive them of any municipal budget. “

Yesterday, policemen who came to the “Ezrat Torah” neighborhood in Jerusalem to enforce the corona regulations were attacked by those present at the scene and one of the policemen who had not yet managed to get off the car was hit in the head by a stone thrown at the car and smashed the driver’s windshield. Police forces are working at the scene in order to track down the stone and also enforce such regulations. In addition, the police stopped a large-scale wedding in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.

Earlier this week, clashes broke out between police forces and ultra-Orthodox in the Ramat Eshkol-Sanhedria neighborhood of Jerusalem, during an enforcement operation. The policemen who arrived at the scene encountered resistance in which dozens of people confronted them, tried to prevent them from entering the place, blocked transport routes, shouted insults at them and tried to disrupt their activities.
