In a scene that could have been ripped from a slapstick crime reel—if it weren’t so destructive—a Chareidi youth stormed into the “Sabaphone” cell phone store on Shmuel HaNavi Street Tuesday carrying a bucket of revolting, foul-smelling liquid.
Security footage shows the young man brazenly dumping the noxious contents onto the shop floor and merchandise before his plan backfired—literally—when he slipped on the slime and crashed to the ground.
Store employees quickly moved in, kicking him out of store as the stench filled the air and the damage piled up. The liquid seeped into electronics and accessories, causing thousands of shekels’ worth of destruction.
Business owners say this wasn’t a random act of vandalism. According to multiple sources, the youth was carrying out orders from extremists waging a guerrilla campaign to shut down cell phone stores in Chareidi neighborhoods.
Merchants say the attacks are becoming more frequent, more brazen, and more costly—while police enforcement remains virtually invisible.

was the store selling treif smartphones or not? YWN has to post the whole story
So you want us Americans to go to bat for chareidim with regard to the army, but then you do things like this. Kind of completely undermines any support you may have had. What heter do you have to order the destruction of someones business? Clearly you don’t believe in Hashem!
FAFO
YWN YOUR A BUNCH OF FAKE NEWS SUCKERS
u know their prob selling filthy smartphones but refuse to report it so it looks bad of the frummeh
They kicked him out of the store?! What kind of punishment is that?! As witnesses to a crime they should have arrested him and held him for the police.
“ben-torah”, it makes no difference what they were selling. They have the right to sell any legal product anywhere they like, and you resho’im have no right to do anything to them at all. You can protest peacefully, without blocking traffic or causing any damage; that is all. The moment you do anything more, you are automatically wrong no matter what.
He deserved it! You can’t just damage other people’s property. They should have called the police or beaten him up!
what is a treif smartphone? treif are ma’acholot assurot. we don’t eat smartphones.
He pooped then he plopped
