A Haredi man reportedly confronted a Haredi soldier from the town of Hashmonaim earlier today, telling him the Torah will not protect him and he will burn in Gaza. The exchange, circulated on social media, adds to a series of recent tensions surrounding Haredi military service.
The Zioneer has reported on several similar incidents in recent weeks, including a Tuesday video in which a Haredi man told a Haredi soldier he would burn in a tank in Gaza, and other accounts of harassment and tension surrounding Haredi enlistment. The current incident, from the town of Hashmonaim, underscores the ongoing friction between parts of the ultra-Orthodox community and Haredi soldiers serving in the IDF. The identity of the man and the soldier have not been publicly disclosed.
