Clashes between police and ultra-Orthodox in Ashdod; The Jerusalem faction: “We will not close”

Continue to violate the guidelines: Large police forces were called today (Monday) to carry out enforcement operations in the C district of Ashdod, after they were called following an attack by municipal inspectors. According to the report, municipal inspectors were attacked during enforcement actions they carried out at an educational institution at a place which acted contrary to the guidelines.

Following the arrival of the police forces, there were extensive clashes between them and the local residents. Some of those present began to riot, blocking roads and confronting police officers. So far, a number of rioters have been arrested.

The Jerusalem faction responded: “The ultra-Orthodox public across the country is appalled to hear about the criminal attempt by the Ashdod police – to close the large yeshiva – Grodno, and evacuate the hundreds of yeshiva students hidden in a Torah tent. At this time large police forces “They are stopping the closure in their entirety. This is not an attempt to close a Talmud Torah, this is a delusional attempt to close a yeshiva in Israel, without any legal reason.

It was also stated: “A discussion is taking place at the residence of the Torah scholars at this time, and the possibility of calling on the public from all over the country to come to Ashdod en masse and physically prevent the horrific and terrible injustice of closing a yeshiva in Israel is being considered. Please know this, a meeting in Israel will not be closed, period. “

MK Boaz Toporovsky (There is a future), in response to the confrontations: “When the prime minister’s freedom is in the hands of the ultra-Orthodox, the anarchy in the country will only increase and the blackmailers will do with our country and our money as much as they please.”

This case joins other recent cases in which ultra-Orthodox educational institutions continue to operate during the closure, while state educational institutions are closed. Violations of the guidelines continue even at the time of the wedding violation, as reported just a few days ago.
