A large police force including officers, detectives and Yassam commandos arrived in the Meah Shearim/Beis Yisrael areas during the predawn hours on Monday, 8 Iyar to make arrests. They arrived at about 3:00AM and went to eight homes, resulting in the arrests of four persons, including a 14-year-old.
As the arrests took place, word spread of the large police presence and the locals took to the streets in the hope of sabotaging police and preventing the arrests. In addition to their shouts a Palestinian flag was hung in the area.
Police report the arrests are connected to “Recent violence and violent activities”, adding they will eventually reach each person who took part in illegal violence. Police report in addition to the minor, the other suspects are between the ages of 20-30.
In was later revealed that the arrests were in connection to last weeks violent Hafgaonos at the IDF Conscription Office in Jerusalem, which resulted in Police using extreme force – including flash-bang grenades, horses, and water cannons. It appears the arrested individuals are suspected of physically attacking police officers.
At the time, the protest was held after word spread of a “Frum woman” who had been taken to the draft office and was taken into custody. It was later revealed that her level of “Frumkeit” was highly questionable, as her Facebook posts from as recent as two weeks ago became public.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
LET USE OUR GEMORAH HEADS AND FIGURE THIS OUT WITH A KAHL VOCHOMER
IF SOMEONE WHO IS FRUM AND SAYS I CANT GO TO THE ARMY BECAUSE OF , NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY FRUM AND SEE THINGS THAT ONE SHOULD NOT SEE.
THEN SOMEONE WHOSE “Frumkeit” WHICH IS highly questionabl AL; ACHAS KAMOH VEKAVOH
Good. It’s time to clean house. If these thugs were violent they should be arrested. The same thing applies for those low life sikrikim/tznius police. I’m all for the demonstrations but physical violence is never accepted.
Btw, what were those heiligeh Yiddishe nashim doing on the streets at 3:00am?
Why are these women screaming in the streets what happened to כבודה בת מלך פנימה?
They should arrest more of such hooligans. The way they act is NOT the Charedi way,
Perhaps the Israel Police should outsource law enforcement of mea shearim to the palestinian authority police, or the islamic caliphate.
The residents there seem to think they would be treated better by non jews.
Tourists visiting Israel from abroad should cease shopping in the Meah Shearim/Beis Yisrael neighborhoods and stop making donations to the organizations supporting these bahaviors. In addition, stop the donations to those others who sit idly by. Stop the cash flow to stop the insanity. I believe I read a piece before Pesach regarding the use of food donated for families in need being used to throw at police during demonstrations, which resulted in a shortage that had to be made up with more donations. Really?! Wake up folks. There are other institutions better suited to park your tax write offs.
it is time to recognize that dina d’malchusa dina. these thugs and hoodlums who think they are so frum are really criminals who break the law and attack innocent people.
They belong in jail.
Someone who looks at FB posts with the expectation that he’s going to see pritzus – is he not passul l’eidus?
No reputable rav I know of allows going into FB at all.
So, YWN, if you think you’re a real news outlet, let’s have some evidence, not just baseless allegations and smears.
