Haredi hoodlums in Bnei Brak attack IDF officers
A senior Israel Defense Forces officer responsible for advancing the draft of ultra-Orthodox soldiers to the military was attacked by a mob of Haredi men in Bnei Brak Thursday night.Those members of that extremist clan should be forced into army service and to fight in Gaza themselves, but you'd be correct if concerned the hoodlums could also attack innocent Israelis if given weapons. Maybe what they should be forced to do is serve in a medical unit. For now, they should be imprisoned and fined heavily for their crimes.
Maj. Gen. David Zini, head of the Training Command and General Staff Corps and the “project manager” for drafting Haredi soldiers, was eating at a restaurant in Bnei Brak with one of his aides, a major, when dozens of Haredi men ganged up on the two officers, shouting “murderers” as they chased them through the streets of the ultra-Orthodox city, just east of Tel Aviv.
Police said that the two officers were rescued from the angry crowd and three suspects were arrested.
The suspects, aged 29, 24 and 19, will be brought to court later Friday.
Zini was attacked by a Haredi mob in Bnei Brak in July too, when he was in the central city following a meeting with Rabbi David Leybel, a proponent of programs that support members of the ultra-Orthodox community entering the workforce. [...]
The protesters on Thursday were affiliated with the Jerusalem Faction, an extremist ultra-Orthodox group numbering some 60,000 members that is considered among the most hardline opponents of efforts to extend enlistment requirements to yeshiva students and other Haredi men. The group has become known for periodically organizing large protests against the IDF in recent years.
Hours before the mob attacked the officers in Bnei Brak, members of the same extremist faction blocked traffic along a major highway nearby to demonstrate against intensifying efforts to conscript Haredi men into the military.
