Ashdod Mayor Dr. Yechiel Lasri on motzei shabbos paid a visit to the home of R’ Shraga Meyer of Ashdod accompanied by City Councilman Rav Ephraim Weber. Meyer is a resident of the Rova Zayin neighborhood of the city, a resident of the city who was victimized by the local at-risk youths, who assaulted him and wounded him with a knife earlier in the week.

The mayor informed Meyer he plans to meet with rabbonim and city officials to continue efforts to improve security in the community, alarmed at the attack and unwilling to accept a situation in which residents leave in fear and become victimized by the youths.
