On Sunday night, the eve of 21 Teves, motorists reported they came under attack with rocks at about 10:00pm when passing the area of the construction site on Sokolov Street in Bnei Brak. Motorists explained they were traveling from Jabotinsky, and just before one makes the right turn onto Even Givrol, the rocks were flying.
There were reports of damage to vehicles that were traveling as well as parked vehicles in the area, including smashed windows.
Members of the Shomrim responded to the area, telling Chadrei Chadarim that during the last week, they received numerous complains of rocks and dirt balls being hurled at vehicles from the area.
Drivers whose vehicles were damaged phoned police to file a report. They motorists express anger for they feel police simply did nothing to respond to the area or bring an end to the attacks.
Responding to a Chadrei Chareidim inquiry, police explain a call was received by the 100 dispatcher, and a patrol vehicle was dispatched. The unit arrived and reported seeing dirt on a number of parked vehicles, but none were damaged. They did not see any suspects, and they left the area, but an investigation has been launched.

Yeshivah Bochur stone-thrower arrested for attack on IDF soldier
Police arrested an anti-draft extremist in Beit Shemesh Monday evening, hours after an IDF soldier was injured in a stone-throwing attack that caused him to lose control of his vehicle and crash.
The attack occurred Monday morning, when a 21-year-old soldier driving in a predominantly-Charedi neighborhood of Ramat Beit Shemesh.
Anti-draft radicals spotted the driver’s IDF uniform, the soldier later said, and began hurling rocks at the vehicle.
During the attack, the soldier lost control of his vehicle and crashed into an electric pole.
Just a matter of time that one of these drivers, soldier or other armed person, will unload a few rounds on the stone throwing yerai shamayim
