The Jerusalem faction of the ultra-Orthodox community accused police of using humiliating and unrestrained violence against protesters, including severe methods that exceed legal authority, according to a statement reported by journalist Eli Hirshman on N12.
The Jerusalem faction — one of the two main streams within the ultra-Orthodox community — issued a sharp condemnation of police conduct during the ongoing protests, which have seen a heavy police presence and multiple arrests. In a statement quoted by reporter Eli Hirshman, the group accused police of using degrading, unrestrained violence that goes beyond legal bounds. The statement reflected deepening tensions between parts of the Haredi public and law enforcement, as demonstrations over military conscription and other issues have continued for days. The faction alleged that officers used severe tactics without restraint, targeting Haredi protesters specifically. The claims have not been independently verified, and police have not yet issued a response. The bulletin is based on a single source — Hirshman's report on N12 — so details remain at the reporting stage.
