Police brutally injured a Chareidi man in his 50s on Monday morning in the course of arresting him for not wearing a mask as he was shopping in a supermarket in Bnei Brak.
According to a witness, police suddenly entered the store and upon seeing the man without a mask, demanded that he present them with a teudat zehut.
An argument ensued between the man and the police, which ended with the police handcuffing him, during which they injured him. Hatzalah volunteers evacuated him to Sheba Hospital with facial injuries.
“He told the police: ‘I don’t have money to pay the fine,'” a witness told B’Chadrei Chareidim. The police claim that the man tried to leave the store without completing the identity process.
“He’s an avreich who wouldn’t hurt a fly,” the man’s father said. “He’s a very gentle person. I don’t know how they did something like this to him.”
In past weeks, Bnei Brak residents have been complaining about selective enforcement in the city regarding mask-wearing.

These chilonim are mizerah shel amaliek! Evil wicked rishaim, egged on by Lieberman and his fellow pork eaters in the Knesset. The yarlmuka wearing AG Avichai Mandelblit is too busy going after a former Prime Minister to give a damn about the safety of Israel’s citizens. Whenever the Israeli government comes with brutality against the Chareidim, terrorist attacks from the Arabs follows soon after. Brace yourselves.
The article is a bit unclear. Why wasn’t he wearing a mask which everyone in BB knows is required in public spaces and when stopped by the police, why didn’t he provide the requested identification? The police need to exercise restraint but so too, should citizens obey the rules and follow police directives.
These police are a bunch of thugs
this really anti Semitic! ‘why’ no one does anything.
They are out of control. They really believe that THIS is going to stop covid?
There must be more to this story. The whole thing does not make sense.
This is Israel? Are these officers Jewish because if so something is very strange with all of this. What do they gain from this aside for controlling people? Is it still about the virus or was it never about the virus…makes you wonder
what does it mean “An argument ensued ” after police asks for documents?!
this seems to contradict “He’s a very gentle person.” – most gentle people I know of do not initiate arguments with police.
Let them try going into an Arab grocery and arrest them. Big hero’s against Jews. I hate the tziyonim as they are enemies of our Torah.
Satmar rebbe rabbi Yoelish was right. Tziyonim are worse than goyim.
worse the the nazis. Police in Israel can do what ever they want no body stops them.Its the only coutry where the police can do what they want no din wedayan. They worse then the nazis and this in a so called jewish state.
Zionist state
Elokim al dami Lach! Al techarash v’al tishkot Keil! Ki hinei oyvecha yehemayun, umsanecha nasu rosh!
Yemach shemam vsheim zichram! Stand down @gadolhadorah and @DrYidd and all you other son’ei yisroel… admit that they are evil, evil, evil Nazi pigs! What reshaim! I watched the video with tears in my eyes. Almost as evil as the Berland cockroach! Horrible, horrible, horrible! And, by the way, in case any of the non-toshavei-Eretz-Gileinu don’t chap… MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HERE NEVER EVER EVER WEAR MASKS AND NO ONE GIVES A DAMN! What filthy reshaim! I actually think he’d have a high chance of succeeding in a lawsuit in this incident… although far be it from me to advise a yid to have any interactions with the Zionist entity and/or its judicial institutions.
As it is Adar, let us console ourselves with the vort from the famed “The Purim Story” tape/cd/album/whatever (must be a medrash or something): Vashti: If [your G-d…] had any power, why doesn’t he stand up and avenge His honor?!
“Leah”: […] Hashem is no rush, and there’s no place YOU can hide from him!
TRUE DAT!
Amen, amen, amen, v’amen!
Gadolhadorah and Rocky make good points. The bottom line is that not all reports in the press are equally reliable.
That’s why reputable media usually try to avoid seeming biased by referring to one side of a two-sided story as mere “allegations”. In this article YWN reports them as clear facts, with no pretense of avoiding bias. The mentality strikes me as is closer to that of a Yenta than that of a fair-minded person.
I live in Israel and I and my children have had “incidents” with the police. I believe most are good men and women, trying to serve and protect. However, often they become very defensive and insecure when one challenges their authority. Occurrence like this are not uncommon, but to be fair, everyone is fair game.
Right, Left, Haredim, Settlers, Arabs, teenagers, tourists, foreign journalists, soldiers in uniform, and even members of Knesset.
They literally torture Yiddin in custody. You never have seen the worst of it because they do their worst deeds occur when cameras aren’t filming. You can’t see broken ribs. You don’t see people getting sick from contaminated food given to them in custody. You don’t see men getting electrocuted. The regime puts those it knows as its worst sadists into sheirut batei sohar, mishmar hagvul, shin bet, police interrogation units, and criminal “psychiatric” wards. If this video bothers you, seriously, you hardly have scratched the tip of the iceberg. If you support that regime, you have blood on your hands, whether you understand so or not. If you knew what is not public knowledge, you could not in good conscience live under that regime unless you had no choice.
@rocky-There is nothing more to this story,I live in Israel,the police act horrible to the frum jews even if you dont do a thing.
Here almost no one wears masks anymore!
Rocky – you obviously don’t live here in E”Y. There absolutely does not need to be more to the story.
oK, maybe he should have worn a mask but to beat him like that is too much
AAQ
Pretending you’ve never been to Israel, are you?
Zionist Gestapo.
@rightwriter – it is simply about obeying the law. It doesn’t matter if you think it is safe to drive along Main Street at 60mph when the speed limit is 30mph or whether you think it is unnecessary to wear a mask because of COVID when the law requires you to. Unfortunately, many Haredim simply do not understand or understand but refuse to acknowledge that Israel is not a country governed by halocha. It is a left-wing society where it is not a negotiation if you do something the civil authority says is illegal. I don’t have the money to pay the fine is not an excuse. Just wear the mask. He would not have got into trouble if he had a mask on or produced his ID. It is illegal to go without ID in Israel. It is a police state. Everyone who lives there knows that and they also know that the police are brutal, doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or an arab.
ZIONISTS ARE NAZIS!!
no surprise here
@not getting involved, I was about to write the same. Shkoeich
> they become very defensive and insecure when one challenges their authority.
why would a gentle person “challenge” police authority? especially about such a little decent thing as wearing a mask around other people?
shoftim and shotrim… Shoftim have discretion, shotrim are enforcing a law. Here, in US if you “challenge” police authority, you are risking being dead on the spot and can file a lawsuit later.
Absolute disgrace putting other Yidden in danger by not wearing a mask.
The שלחן ערוך at the very end of חושן משפט says about those he don’t practice safety – מלכין מכת מרדות.
The באר הגולה on this says – אין לך זילזול ואפקריתא יותר מזה.
I have to say, reading these comments gives me a lot of chizzuk. I’m totally serious. I am glad we’re all on the same page.
Zionist Nazi Gestapo Police “State” Idol.
IT’S TOTALLY NOT ABOUT THE MASK. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN, THE POLICE OFFICER COULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO PUT ON ONE.
IT’S TOTALLY NOT ABOUT THE LAW OR COVID…. OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.
ONLY ABOUT CONTROL AND MONEY.
AND WHEN THE YID SAID HE DOESN’T HAVE MONEY, THE NEXT BEST STEP WAS TO ARREST HIM. BECAUSE “THAT WILL REALLY SHOW THESE CHAREIDIM……”
CRUEL CONTROL COPS AT THEIR BEST…. THEY WOULD NEVER START UP WITH THE ARABS- GUARANTEED.
Mask wearing??? I was all over Yerusholayim today -I don’t think I saw one mask…….and no police enforcing it……
While police brutality is real, comparing this to the Nazis is outrageous. Sadly, I guess it has become normal to use that comparison for anything really making it basically meaningless.
Convinced GadolHadorah is just a troll at this point. If that’s true, you really need help… or a day job.
There are many hard criminals that have been arrested and none of them where inflicted such injuries this is not normal
