At least 40 people were injured Wednesday evening after a massive brawl broke out during a wedding celebration at a hall on Rechov Ezra in central Bnei Brak.
Medics from United Hatzalah’s Central District rushed to the scene, providing urgent medical treatment to dozens of victims suffering from various injuries and exposure to tear gas.
“United Hatzalah medics are providing medical treatment to approximately 40 people injured in a mass brawl at a wedding hall on Ezra Street in Bnei Brak,” said a spokesperson for United Hatzalah – Central District.
Early reports indicate that the incident began when several non-Jewish waiters at the wedding allegedly clashed with guests, leading to a violent altercation that rapidly spiraled out of control. Witnesses told YWN that tear gas was sprayed during the chaos, compounding the chaos.
Police and additional emergency teams have arrived on the scene. Authorities are investigating the circumstances that led to the confrontation and the alleged use of tear gas inside the crowded hall.

That’s a great start to the marriage
Tragic. The poor two families who invested so much into this simcha, only to be ruined by this outbreak. The poor chassan and kallah.
The chareidi world must calm down! It doesn’t matter who started the incident. Even just looking at the video you feel the mob scene energy.
Having attended many smachot of this nature, I think I can piece this together:
* Haredim want more food and now
* Waiters cannot speak Hebrew and expect civility
* Haredim get too close
* Waiters push back
* Brawl ensues.
Many such cases
