Exclusive footage from the attack on the Beit Shemesh police station shows rioters setting fires and attempting to assault officers, according to a report published Friday. The new video, reportedly filmed during the incident, appears to document a more intense phase of the riot than previously known. No official police statement on the footage has been released.
New exclusive footage published Friday (11:48) from the Beit Shemesh police station riot presents what it describes as scenes of rioters igniting fires and attempting to physically harm officers. The video, shared by a news outlet, appears to capture moments of greater intensity than earlier reports described, as the incident escalated.
The Zioneer reported Thursday (10:41) that exclusive footage of Haredi rioters breaking into the station had been released. That bulletin noted no official confirmation of the video. The new video — described as "exclusive documentation" by the publication that released it — appears to show fires deliberately set within the station and rioters charging police lines. The footage has not been independently verified, and police have not commented on it.
At around 21:14 on Thursday, a mainstream news outlet reported that hundreds of Haredi rioters had attempted to break into the station and attacked officers. Police have since arrested three Beit Shemesh residents aged 26, 46, and 56 on suspicion of involvement in the riot and break-in, as The Zioneer reported June 9 (11:05). Other suspects remain at large according to earlier police statements.
