Four secular youths on Wednesday, 7 Tammuz, attacked a chareidi woman in Beit Shemesh and tried stealing her bag. The suspects, ages 14 and 15 saw the woman in her 50s walking alone heading home. They tried to steal her bag but she resisted, and they began beating her. She suffered a fractured finger but B’chasdei Hashem succeeded in running from her attackers and got onto a bus as she summoned police.
Police tracked down two of the attackers a short time after becoming involved. They emitted an odor of alcohol when taken into custody. They assaulted police as they were being arrested as well. They will be arraigned on Thursday afternoon in the Jerusalem Magistrate Court. Additional arrests in the case are expected.

If the chilonim and mizrochnikim said clearly that for every time there is violence, verbal or physical, against members of the IDF, or if their property is damaged, a haredi woman will be stopped in the street and her sheitel removed and she would be photographed and the photo plastered up all over Beit Shemesh, maybe we would see an end to these disgusting provocations by the so called haredim.
With all due respect, hershel2626 has it all wrong.
This specific story had two non-religious youth assaulting a religious woman who worked the night shift at the mikve. They attacked her on her way home after she locked up the mikve. Again, these were non-religious youth attacking a religious woman. With that in mind, you pre- conceived agenda against religious people is totally misplaced! Get your facts straight.
hershel2626 :stop the hate!The rare anti-Israel haredi who attacks an IDF SOLDIER IS SOUNDLY COMMENDED by Haredi leaders and other haredim.Your hate speech is unexcusable.
