The State Prosecutor’s Office filed an indictment on Monday in the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court against 17 defendants — four of them minors — after they trespassed on the property of the IDF Military Police Chief in Ashkelon during a protest against the drafting of bnei yeshivos into the IDF.
According to the indictment, about a month and a half ago, dozens of protesters affiliated with Peleg Yerushalmi gathered near the officer’s home to protest the draft.
At a certain point, shortly after the demonstration began, some of the protesters broke through the locked gate of the officer’s home and entered the yard. At the time, his wife and two of his children — one of them a minor — were inside the house.
Dozens of protesters, including the defendants, entered the yard, the porch, and the steps leading to the house. Some sat or stood while holding hands. The defendants and other protesters sang protest songs, held signs, and shouted insults at the officer and at the IDF.
According to the indictment, the officer’s family felt fear and concern for their safety as a result of the protest. They closed the shutters, locked the front door, and called the police.
Police forces eventually stopped the disturbance, and the defendants were arrested.
The indictment also states that the riot caused damage to the gate’s locking mechanism, parts of the home’s wall were broken, and damage was caused to the porch tiles and nearby plants.
The total damage is estimated at several thousand shekels.
The defendants are charged with rioting, trespassing with intent to commit an offense, and malicious damage.

they should be locked up for life scaring pwople, damaging things. they are menaces to society
Nebbech, boys sitting in his front yard, so they get prosecuted – police and courts must be really bored or simply ignoring threats of terror and serious crimes in order to prosecute chareidy boys!
so much for the only democracy in the middle east
lock them up le’ma’aan yishmi’oo ve’yera’oo
Lock up dr.yidd for being zerah amalek and always rejoicing over hardships on bnei torah
Dear reb Emes, Thank you for defending H”M and H-s Torah Law by stating unequivocally that Dr Yidd was an amalek type of person and that he should be locked up for harming B’nei Torah with his vitriolic comments. Also ‘dont’ said that Chareidis are ‘menaces’ to Israeli society and should be imprisoned for blocking the streets in protest of harmful arrest draft laws. He is also an amalek and deserves punishment by G-D H-mself. No one should harm the Chareidi Men and Boys who long to study Torah and it’s Seforim while others want to live a worldly life apart from Torah Observance. Each has chosen their own path in life and the Chareidis should not be penalized for chosing a strict Torah Life over a life lived in modern society. They have answered H”M’s call to be close to H-m in H-s Torah Study Halls. The Israeli Government needs to have something they do not now have. “COMPASSION”. To save a Torah Life is one of the greatest Mitzvahs that can be accomplished. To save a life, especially a Torah Life is the highest form of Torah Observance and should not be penalized for being devoted to H”M without question or second thoughts. They do not stray from Torah to the right and to the left. They stay on a Torah path that is straight and narrow. Please G-D, please allow these very brave and courageous Torah Men and Boys to study Torah and it’s related Seforim unimpeded. Please Dear H”M, release them from their confines politically and governmentally. Please allow the Israeli Government Laws to be changed to reflect a Compassionate Government stance with respect to Torah Observance. So much suffering. I realize that this situation that you have made public has also the effect of bringing to light the importance of obeying G-D and for all Jewish Males to consider seriously making a commitment of time and energy to being devoted to Your Torah Laws. Ani Ahavah Atah H”M Boruch H”M. Omein Selah.
rebEmes, that would mean Rav Shlomo Kliuger ztl is also zera amalek!!
A few years ago the head of Mossad who was a religious guy suggested that protests by Chareidim helps in the Iran outlook of Israel. I noticed everytime there is a confrontation with Iran suddenly Chareidi protest erupt. Mossad could well be behind all this hafgonas.
DrTorahHater; Reb Shloime Kliger ZT”L didn’t condone persecution of 1.2m chareidim. If you consider yourself a descendent of his SHAME ON YOU! YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM HIM TO GO IN HIS WAYS NOT THE OPPOSITE! Being a descendent of a Godel through 1 line doesn’t negate the possibility of having amalek through other ancestors.
Dr.Safekyidd, you don’t get to only quote rabbis when you find one that says something you like. You’re a rabbi hater across the board don’t bring up any names when you throw all the other ones in the mud every time you disagree. How someone who is the enemy of the rabbinical leadership today thinks he’s going to find himself in heaven is a joke we’re all going to laugh at soon
