Police have been called in to investigate an incident that took place in an Ashdod cheder on Monday afternoon, 24 Cheshvan. A teacher sustained very light injury as a result of being struck with the pellets.

Close to 12:20pm, police received a report of three ‘off the derech’ youths who were on bicycles and passed the Lev Simcha Talmid Torah affiliated with Gerre, firing at the teacher. The attackers were reportedly drop out youths and not talmidim from the cheder.
