Yerushalayim residents are outraged after discovering that Ahmad Marzouk, a recently released security prisoner, has been employed in a Chareidi neighborhood despite his history of incitement and criminal activity.
Marzouk, who was freed in the November-December hostage deal, was arrested again in February on charges of drug possession, threats, and racially motivated offenses. He was detained in the Yemin Moshe neighborhood along with several other suspects found in possession of illegal substances.
Despite his release, Marzouk has continued to post extremist content on social media, regularly glorifying terrorists, encouraging violence, and supporting the October 7 attack on Israel. Videos circulating online show him taunting local residents in the neighborhood where he now works, raising serious security concerns.
Marzouk is currently employed by a private company in a Chareidi area of Yerushalayim, a revelation that has sparked outrage among local residents. Many are questioning how a known security risk was allowed to work in a Jewish neighborhood, especially given his past offenses and ongoing public incitement against Israel.
Authorities have yet to respond to growing calls for action to prevent individuals with extremist backgrounds from being placed in sensitive areas.

I have a very easy fix for this….back in the 80’s Satmar Chasidim used to call “Chaptzem” and take care of the thug and sometimes would call police when they were done. Hint Hint (Don’t call the police though, just feed him to the pigs when you’re done)
im am no longer shocked
Why should they only be prevented from “working in sensitive areas”? All released Hamas prisoners should be ‘returned’ to Gaza and denied re-entry to Israel permanently.
Madness! Known terrorists are released in hostage-exchange deals, and no one keeps an eye on their whereabouts and places them on a watchlist?
100%
What’s the issue? He fits right in!! He’s also an anti Zionist and feels the state should not exist until Moshiach comes.
JUST KNOCK HIM DOWN
Chapsem!!
Charedi rabbis all supported releasing the terrorists. They should be placed in the neighborhoods of those who want them free.
Won’t kollel students learning protect the neighborhood.
anon1m0us, not all antizionism is created equal. The chareidim don’t like the “ism” in Zionism, the terrorists and their supporters hate the “Zion” in it.
Facts Matter, if facts really do matter to you, then show me one chareidi rabbi who was actually happy about the release of terrorists. The only wanted that the hostages should come home and saw the release of terrorists, rightly or wrongly, as a necessary price.
FactsMatter hits the grand slam. The chareidi world conveniently ignores the requirement for hishtadlus when it comes to security. What happened to the gemara that prohibits ransoming captives for an exorbitant price? We have a safek and vaday. Safek that hamas will adhere to the terms, and vaday that the released terrorists will kill again. You can even say that’s a vaday vaday. So why did the gedolim agree with the plan? Because this government is the only they will see for the next 30 years that will try to delay giyus and they know that as soon as elections happen, they will be in the opposition.
