Disturbing footage circulating Wednesday morning from a protest in Bnei Brak appears to show police officers deliberately tearing the trousers of protesters. The video, shared on social media, adds to a series of recent incidents involving police and Haredi demonstrators, which The Zioneer has been covering since early June. On Friday, exclusive footage showed Haredi rioters setting fires at the Beit Shemesh police station. Earlier this week, police used stun grenades to disperse protesters and carried out undercover arrests at demonstrations in Jerusalem. The Bnei Brak footage has not yet been officially addressed by police, and the full context of the protest remains unconfirmed.
