A Haredi individual with Telegram identity 'Chaim Cohen' published a post Friday afternoon accusing activists from Givat Shmuel of sexually harassing Haredi passersby from Bnei Brak during a road blockade protest today. The post, which uses coarse language and makes additional allegations about the protesters' funding and religious identity, has not been independently verified.
A post published Friday afternoon on Telegram, attributed to a user named Chaim Cohen, alleges that activists from Givat Shmuel — described by the writer as 'blights' and identified with 'Religious Zionism' — sexually harassed Haredi pedestrians from Bnei Brak today during a road blockade protest. The message also claims the activists' funding will soon become public knowledge and that their connection to religious observance is incidental. The post uses aggressive language and singles out Haredi men from Bnei Brak as targets of the alleged harassment. No further details, witness accounts, or police confirmation have emerged. The Zioneer reported earlier Friday that the Haredi public had warned it would not stay silent over the planned blockade, and on Thursday that the 'Mothers on the Frontline' group had threatened to block entrances to Bnei Brak. Today's post introduces a new, uncorroborated allegation of sexual harassment that has not been verified by any independent source or official authority.
